Mon-
We will keep an eye on it and I'm also collecting samples of work to see if I can see an improvement over the next couple of months. It is hard to tell if things wishfully changing in my own head but when I lay stuff next to each other from the last year, I don't see any difference.

He has memorized all of his addition facts to 20, can skip count and is beginning to multiply without instruction. But he can't subtract to save his life- he always turns it into an addition problem. Like 15-8 became 8+_=15 yesterday. I figured this was a weird quirk. Is this something you see in your son?

I will begin teaching him to type. I have fought this because I didn't want him to become reliant on typing and not learn how to write just because it was hard for him. But it seems like maybe his frustration is keeping him from getting other important lessons.

They don't come all wrapped up in a neat package do they?
