This cracked me up. He turned to me as he tried to solve the problem in his head thinking hard and saying, "Hmmm, is it 5?" He was correct!

Graduation to First Grade Math!
As you may remember Bugsy turned 5 at the end of September. I started him in kindergarten realizing he is young but knowing he is ready. He proved that today! He finished his kindergarten math books of addition & subtraction & graduated to Singapore Mathematics 1st grade today!

Life Skills
A yard sale is a wonderful learning opportunity. The kids learned about organization, cleaning out, helping others, hard work, manners, pricing, negotiating & giving. Another lesson was money. How to make change, how to be a good steward, denominations & how to calculate.
After the sale & clean up I called Elvis up to our room where I was counting the money. Working with money is his favorite in math. I had it split into different denomiations and had already counted it. He was given the job of counting it himself. I checked his calculations with mine to get the final tally. He did a terrific job! He got them all right the first time with the execption of one. And that one he got correct on the second count. Go Elvis!

He Did It!!!!!!!
HE DID IT!!!!!!! Yesterday Elvis completed his 2B book in Singapore Math! He has been flying through this book and working hard. He set a goal for himself and was so excited to reach it he was running all around the house cheering & yelling, "I did it! I did it!" He was a sight to see! Lol!
BTW, according to the Singapore Math website he is now doing advanced 3rd grade student work & he is only 7 & in 2nd grade. I've always struggled in math so I am extra thrilled he is doing so well. Sorry, just had to brag a little on my boy.
