I started tutoring today and my Lord did I love it. Working one on one with someone who really needs just that...it is very good. The kid has trouble with math, because numbers are a little too abstract...but we started talking about money, and bingo-girl could divide and multiply. She had no trouble...because money is more real than a symbol on a paper. I think we can really work with this. Next time I'm bringing lots of coins and maybe fake money. Anyone know where I could get fake money by Thursday?
Science Center was a little overwhelming today but so much fun. There were like 70 kids, from 4 to maybe 12, and it was quite an adventure trying to keep all those kids focused and going for all that time. But fun fun. I had them all miming they were stuck in little tiny boxes. I wish you could have all seen it, or that I could post pictures, but you'll have to use your imagination.
Postcards came in the mail today. I've been busy stamping and putting the address labels on. I hope to get them to the post office before they close. Productive day so far, and it's only 3:21.
I've been in such a delightful state of mind lately.

Yay! Sounds like you are having a fun summer! Have you tried the dollar store for fake money? Or Walmart or party city?
Walmart and party city definitely have fake money. You're good at teaching.
Scan some and make copies.....although that's highly illegal......hahaha
