"Fundamentals, Fundamentals, Fundamentals. You have to get the fundamentals down, because otherwise the fancy stuff is not going to work."
I loved this quote..How true and for so many things. Even with basic things that I am trying to teach the kids like addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts. If you don't have the fundamentals down heaven help you when you get to the hard stuff like geometry. **Note to self keep working with the Greeneteam on those multiplication tables those are fundamentals!!
"When you are screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they have given up on you."
Thank goodness I finally have a reason for why I am so tired. :) The Greeneteam is one team this mama is not giving up on.
"Brick walls are there for a reason. They give us a chance to show how badly we want something."
Note: Great quote when talking to the kids about the character quality of determination.
One way to teach kids about Self Esteem: "Give them something they can't do, they work hard until they find they can do it and then you just keep repeating the process."
Last week at class Carson finally understood telling time which has been really hard for him. We worked, and worked at it and at the end of the week he got 100% on his time test. He looked at me with a smile on his face and said "this has been my best week of school all year." Note to self: Baby steps...baby steps. :)
