We have the kids back in a pretty good routine. Each night, for the most part, they dedicate some of their time hitting the books. Dylan breezed through two Kumon books over the past month, Mazes and Upper Case Letters -- earning the respective book certificates that he takes pride in. Believe it or not, I'm still not sure what hand he is -- he swaps back and forth and I honestly cannot tell which handwriting looks better.
Madison is in the advanced math class -- they started a new math program at her school this year and she's part of the pilot. A handful of kids from the 1st grade at her school were selected based on their skill level and get to participate in the 1+ math (which is 2nd grade level from what I can gather). The funny thing is, all it took was 3 math books (Kumon) and an addition/subtraction table on the ipad -- which she had pretty well mastered over a year ago. On top of that, Madison also has a picture and short story getting published in the next school paper. Maddie's teacher selected her most recent work to feature in the paper, we're looking forward to seeing what she put together.

Grandma would be very happy if she got a copy of the paper with Maddie's story and picture. Great work on Dylan's part and especially Dad's!
