Tuesday: crow bar, conferences

Yesterday Ben was trying to show Joshua what a [Lego] crow bar was.

Ben: what does this part kind of look like?
Joshua: a crow
Ben: What does this part look like?
Joshua: a bar
Ben: if you put them together, what do you get?
Joshua: a crar.

We had Isaac's parent-teacher conferences today.  Mostly good things, as expected.  He's at a level N in reading, which is where he's supposed to be the beginning of third grade...so he's pretty normal with that.  Math is still going well.  He talks and interacts with other students well, but hasn't really made any 'always' friends.  While we wish that was a little different, he does play with other students at recess sometimes.  The biggest issue he has is writing.  If he has plenty of time he does fine, but sometimes he needs to get his thoughts down on paper faster.  There could be lots of reasons for this, but no matter what the reason he needs to do a better job.
