Chase has a strong interest in game development. So we found this Google Chrome app called Gamestar Mechanic. It is a fun site that he can make his own maps and level difficulties. He'll be working on this during computer lab today along with his ScootPad assignments. This is his reward for following directions and staying on task in class today.
We've been having issues with cooperation, which resulted in him getting computer restrictions. He has had to earn his free time back. The last two days without computer has been torturous (for us as well as him), so he is excited about computer lab today. He has earned his free time after school today, so it should be a good day for me to relax and get more work prepared for the rest of the week.
I am out of assignments readied for Math and Language Arts. We're notebooking for these. Fo L.A. I've made his reading and comprehension questions more interesting by modeling the stories on his favorite characters and toys. So far, I have a Lego City story which I used the Lego Comic Builder to make a colorful little comic book to print out and paste into his notebook. I made a Calvin & Hobbes story for his next day's assignment. I drew a few frames to paste in and wrote up a summary of the strips. And Day 3, I made a Ninjago story, paraphrasing some of the world origins from their site.
Fortunately, he has lots of interests, so the list is endless what I can write about. But I only made 3 days ahead and now I need more assignments!
