Observation by Trainer

Delta had violin lesson today. The teacher's mom (who teaches violin teachers) was there to observe - we had been asked if it was ok last week - and Delta paid attention and did EVERYTHING he was asked. He focused very well!

I've printed up more cards for Delta, and he was interested to do the reading because it was new. I also introduced more cards to Echo, and she pretty much knew them already, and was blending very well. I think she is learning from seeing Delta do them. Echo has now done up to card 30 - so that would be about 23 or so words, and the rest are letter sounds. Delta is at about card 75ish (I have 84 printed).... so would be around 60 words and about 15 letter sounds. He really varies on how well he blends.... which he needs to get better at pretty soon, as it won't be very long before it starts into sentances.....

Mike let Delta play a "Cars" (ie from the movie) computer game that we bought, but doesn't work on the kids' computer..... (he got to play on dad's laptop.) There are 10 little games in it - most of which don't look like much..... but at one point I noticed that the game Delta was playing at one point was a puzzle - one of those traffic-jam puzzles where you have an area filled with cars, and you have to choose which ones to move to get the traffic jam to clear (or in this case to let Lightning McQueen get out....) - and Delta was at level 4 or 5! So I don't know how hard the puzzles had been, but it looks like Delta must be good at that type of puzzle.....
