Pondering

Am just pondering where this is all going. It's totally different teaching one to teaching a class, as to get the best out of Small Boy I need to follow his interests, but you can't go 30 ways with one class, and Small Boy can't go his own way within a class. So, a balance between something that inspires him and things I think he should do is probably the best way to go.

He was tired and grumpy last night, so I abandoned any plans for a writing session, and suggested he read instead. There were 4 chapters left in his book. He started by reading chapter 4 out loud, by chapter 5 he was reading to himself and when he got to chapter 6 he asked if he could finish the book! Lovely!

Just two days to go next week and then he's on holiday, so time to put in place some sort of routine that involves reading, horn practice and writing as well as having a relaxing holiday with lots of fun.
