My kid does not count to 100. I feel like Montessori schools focus on different things. He named all the planets and continents for us yesterday. MH and I were just sitting there like, "you know that?" I feel like his school does lesson plans for everyone but I just asked him if he could count to 100 and he said, "sorry, mommy, I can't count to 100. Are you sad?" I said no. He said, "I don't count to 100. ... or 50." But he can do simple addition or subtraction and I always get feedback that he's good with numbers. But I don't know that his school works on actual counting because the Montessori class spans from 3-6.
He's got another year of Pre-K. Then transitional K. Then K, so he has time. Maybe that's something I should work on with him.
:: bangs head on desk at thought of counting with 3yo ::

also, this might be an UO, but I know that DH (9 yo) is as smart as he is and as good a reader as he is thanks to not only us reading to him at night, but also his tablet we gave him. We got him the LeapPad 2 when it came out and he would fall asleep with that thing. He was having fun with the games and felt like a little grown-up because he had his own electronic toy to play with.
he reads over a 9th grade level, and I am positive his use of the tablet (in addition to other things) had something to do with that.

klong11 What specifically were you concerned about if you don't mind sharing? I need to limit O on YouTube as well. He is a junky. It is mostly letter recognition. As in she has none. She will point out every C everywhere we go because that is "her" letter, but she refuses to hear about any other letter. I've tried flashcards, workbooks, pointing things out when reading, just focusing on the letters in her name. Nothing. She knew a couple of letters before, but now she just says, "idk, you tell me" or if I start talking about individual letters when we are reading she sighs really loud, rolls her eyes, and goes to do something else rather than listen to the story. So when the teacher evaluated the kids, she gives them a sheet with the letters in a different order than the alphabet, both capital and lowercase and sure enough, the only one she correctly identified was C. The teacher says she still has plenty of time to catch up, and that several of the kids are in the same place as her, but I can't help but think, no this kid is smart, not in a "my kid is so smart" kind of way, she really is smart, so I'm not sure what the retention issue is. She can also only count to 20, then once she hits 20 she throws out random numbers because she is "done". It is hard to tell what is attention issues and what is stuff she legit isn't grasping. ETA: in order to move up to pre-k in Nov. they want her able to count to 100, and have complete alphabet recognition, both upper and lower case, as well as writing her name and some basic words. ABC Mouse has a free app that is all about letters and LO love watching the videos. It's called A-Z Videos. You start off with two letters and every time you watch the video you get points. The points earn you more letters to learn about.

It wasn't until I saw SweetPotato 's kid's masterpiece of an elephant on FB that I even realized Evie maybe should know how to draw or write. All my kids are pretty much feral until they go to school. Bahahahaha my kid scratches and won't write if his life depended on it. Over here learning to write starts at 6, before that it's all play based.

I don't do any workbooks or anything with H. She can write O and H. I'm not sure how high she can count, I haven't asked her in a while. She does recognize letters most of the time. I'm not to worried about it, that's why I send her to preschool.

jlaur21 I'm so happy for you!! dapostrophe +1 with feral Kids until school. I mean that's why I send them to school right? Otherwise I'd homeschool, which sounds like the seventh circle of hell.

Will there be a vote for mods? There's a thread started in the board business - Q&A and rules section but no admin have responded yet. I'm listed as mod for us but I think that is because I asked McB to set up our private board. I would like it to be Cher again.

Will there be a vote for mods? I believe if someone else wants to run against me, there will be. Otherwise they will just put me back, I have to double check though.

kamakaziartist , I need to have her start using her LeapPad tablet more. She prefers our phones. We bought this for B. She really liked it at first, but of course prefers the ipad. I am the parent here though, I need to be more firm w her. You WILL practice letters, damnit.

But do you have qtips with you at work? I think the strangest thing in my purse is flossers or a wine cork (which surprises no one).

Morning all! So this is our new place? I like it. I finally have some time to check in from the worst vacation ever. SIL is a piece of work and I'm exhausted from dealing with both kids on my own all week. B told me this morning he wants to go home. I'm trying to hide my grumpiness for his sake but dang, it's hard. We're headed to the pool after lunch to visit some other family that's here visiting as well, they are much more helpful so I'll get a break hopefully. I'm sorry. I was really hoping you'd get a bit of a break.
