A sweet homecoming today to a room full of calm buzz: Anselm, Eliot and Tova in their Spanish lesson with Miriam. I also found on the camera this nice picture of Blaise and Anselm in last weekend's "Dad" math project: a paper-based proof of the Pythagorean theorem.
Today was our parent-teacher interview. It was interesting. All good-- excellent scores on adaptive standardized tests in math and reading, specially commended for his artwork-- except an issue we are well aware of: speed. Anselm takes a LONG time to do things, and often doesn't get through his work or projects (or, actually, sentences, or lunch). Not really sure what's to be done about that. His teacher had the following suggestions: a ropes class, video games, a private middle school. She thought that judo (and our insistence that he keep up with the rhythm) must be good too.

Oh, a very sweet picture. I look forward to seeing pictures of the Pythagorean proof. Paper-based proofs are my favorite.
