The prompt's the thing...

Oh how the boys make me laugh.  Devon is still doing well with his work.  I started him off slowly with just a couple of subjects to warm up with.  I'll give it a couple of weeks and add more.  I got his computer programming sample lessons in the mail today so I'll look over that this weekend.  Aidan, on the other hand, is not doing as well as I thought.  He's not completing his work and seems to have difficulty understanding what's required of him from the directions listed.

This is where I have my own "a-ha" moment and remember his processing disorder and how he had to have everything read to him when he was in PS.  My bad!  I'm going to have to re-think his schedule.


Today's laughter comes from Devon's writing prompt:

Write a one page story using this story starter: "During the winter a hibernating bear dreams about..."

During the winter a hibernating bear dreams about, walking down the street with his parents.  While they are walking down the street the bear sees a brand new pair of roller blades, in the window of a skate store.  The bear begged his parents to get them, but sadly they said "grrr" which meant they had no money... The bear was very upset at this but he knew it was true.  So the bear knew what he must do...  He has to get a job!  So he went to the skate store and asked if they were hiring.  The guy at the counter said "sorry we don't hire animals".  The bear was very upset when he heard this he fell to his knees and roared...Fin

What makes this even funnier to me is that this is almost the same story line he used for yesterday's writing prompt. I think he wants some roller blades...

Sleepy time for me!
