Right now in math we're working on a review test to make sure he has retained the information from this section. We only do a few questions a day or it is too much for him, but I was really impressed today when he did his questions. The first question was to write 4 addition equations that equal 5. He was able to do it very quickly and his printing of his numbers was great! Then he had to do 4 equations that equal 6, I thought that might catch him up a bit more, since he's not been practicing the 6's for as long, but he got them no problem. I'm so proud of how he's doing with it.
In science we've been studying sound. So today we did a demonstration with marbles that shows how a molecule bumps into another which then bumps into another and so on carrying the sound to your ear. He understands the concept. I'm not sure if he got the connection between it and the marbles, but he had fun doing it.

This afternoon we got to go to the firestation for a field trip. The kids had lots of fun. Nick especially liked the ambulance, more so than the fire truck. Here are a few pictures for our trip.
Nick explaining the uniforms to B.
Talking with the fireman.
Sitting on the firetruck listening to fire safety.
Sitting on the firetruck in a different spot.
Looking into the ambulance - Nick's favorite part.
Learning not be afraid of the fireman with all of his masks on.
Watching the fireman come down the pole.
Nick's turn! (No, they didn't let him come down the pole, but he sure had fun posing with it.)
Group photo (kinda fuzzy). Nick's at the back between the fireman and the lady with the baby.
