Owen's teacher wrote, "Learning seems to come naturally to Owen. I would say just follow up on what interests him and he will do great."
This, naturally, warmed up my little raisin heart. My little guy...
I was so excited about this statement that I temporarily forgot that I am lazy, and decided to dedicate each week of the summer to learning about something of Owen's choosing. In my mind, I planned literacy activities, crafts, books, and field trips! Oh, the fun! I would be like the Pioneer Woman or that Duggar character, minus seventeen of her children.
Yes, I'm delusional.
Here's Owen's Learning List:
1. Machines
2. Giraffes
3. Dump Trucks
4. Candy
5. Plumbing
6. Camping and Fishing
7. Movies
8. Glasses (not stemware...eyeglasses).
Well, shit. What have I got myself into?
I think I could handle movies. That week is solid.
As for the rest? I think I'll do the classic lazy-person cop out: ask the Internet.
(Save me.)
