It sounds like his teacher is really trying. That's great!

Wolf is signed up to do a 1000 word novel in the young writer's program for National Novel Writing Month www.nanowrimo.org . He's decided it's going to be able the video games Zelda, one of his favorite topics even though he doesn't play. We're getting to skip phonics (that he would have finished by Christmas break anyway) to do it. We're also just about to pretest another 10 weeks of spelling words so we can just do the ones he doesn't know.

He's getting along great with the other kids in the program, mostly hanging out with two 11 year olds since they are the ones that show up to the field trips, but the dynamic is great and the articulation and thought levels are similar so it works. Wolf is 5 if I've forgotten to mention that recently. I keep forgetting it myself!
