Day #264

Nathan has been having a hard time lately with school. Mainly math, and really only math. He hates it. But don't take my word for it, ask his teacher and his principal. And it's not that he is bad at math, because he is quite good at it really. When he focuses and just does it. It's just he doesn't like to do it.

So a few weeks ago I got one of the Living Social emails and it was for a place called the Math Plus Academy in Powell. So we went ahead and purchased the 6 week deal. They are into making Math fun for kids and helping them learn the skills in a way to help them improve and understand.

When we got there they took Nathan into a room and gave him a quick little math assessment, and he placed right in the 2nd & 3rd grade level, right where he is in school. That placed him in their "Operative" level, kinda like an under cover agent theme, trying to work his way up to the "Special ops" level. So he will get to go once a week for the next 6 weeks. And there is also 2 hours a week of Homework help included, which will give Nathan a break from us trying to strong arm him and homework.

He was very excited and want's to really try his best. They even gave him a Math Plus T-Shirt. And tomorrow will be his first day!

So we will be crossing our fingers and praying that Nathan will have that Ah-ha moment, when everything clicks!

And hopefully it is "Problem Solved"
