JUMP Math

Our new math curriculum came:



So now I have to read the teaching guides, and Bub (who actually asked not to be called Bub anymore) needs to figure out which level he's at. For the Introductory Units that we did, you could choose between grades 3/4 and 5/6. The only difference was that for 5/6, there was an extra chapter or two at the end where they covered a little more. Based on that, I couldn't figure out which level Bub was supposed to start at because we did all of them and he had no problems. So he's going through all of the books to see what seems easy, and we're going to determine where to begin when he starts having problems paging through the workbook.

A couple days ago we did a Pythagorean theorem spiral (and by "we," I mean Bub and I). He thought it was so cool! I love it when kids are enthusiastic about learning.

Speaking of Bub, he picked out a pair of shoes for me while he was on vacation with my mother:


These are new Crocs Mary Janes. They supposedly change color in sunlight, but I haven't worn them out (and besides, there's not much sunlight here yet). If nothing else, they'll showcase hand knit socks well.
Also, I'm pleased that Bub picked out shoes in a color he thought I would like. The pair my mother picked out for me (an adult), are Hello Kitty, green and with pink accents. I had a hard time keeping a straight face.
