also he is extremely interested in science and history. For a first grader, these are the only real "content" subjects so i think this is interesting. Does it ring any bells?


Ds8 loves science, social studies is his favorite some of the time, some of the time it's math - despite the math fact issues he's had in the past. He takes dance class, has since he was 4. He quit dance one year but came back to it after seeing the Nutcracker when he was 6 or so.
As far as content subjects, contextless/rote work is sort of a non-starter with ds - subjects where you really do stuff or see things in action or apply ideas are much more his cup of tea. I have heard this referred to as 'meaningful work'. smile
