Words: Eliza was a natural at the smaller addition, but now that most of the answers are in the teens (and, I suspect, it's harder to use her fingers), math homework is taking a little more time. Tonight, she worked on addition and Jake helped her by giving her the Harry Potter Lego characters to use as counters for problems she was getting stuck on. She also practiced counting by twos, fives, and tens verbally. That's is WAY harder in French, because the upper numbers are a little complicated. 70 is soixante-dix (sixty-ten), 80 is quatre-vingts (four-twenties), 90 is quatre-vingt-dix (four-twenties-ten). I had to look it up to help her because I always had trouble with it when I was taking French. Très compliqué!
What you can take from this:
- If you have kids, document what they're learning. I like to record what Eliza is doing well in and what she had to spend more time developing. It's so cool to see how she progresses.
- Have I mentioned that I love that cameras have phones? There's no way I'd have been able to get this picture if I had stopped to get our DSLR. Even though the quality stinks, I'm grateful for Instagrams.
This is my unplanned documentation for the day. This workshop is about documenting what matters to you, so I'm documenting what inspires me. If you get stuck, try documenting something from the Daily Doc | Nov 2012 handout. It has 30 prompts to use if you get stuck documenting. I'm tackling all the prompts month AND doing unplanned daily documentation.
If you documented today, post a link to it in the comments section!
