Lesson time

Ethan has been doing very well in school. I have just been frustrated trying to get him to write his name, but I am slowly learning the tricks of how Ethan's mind works. He has to be made to feel as though he is the "leader". So today at lesson time I wrote his name on the dry erase board one letter at a time. After each letter, he had to copy my letter underneath ... then I told him that I really wanted him to show me how to write the letters the correct way and for him to be the leader and go first. So the second picture was him writing each letter first, one at a time and then I wrote mine under his. He really knew how to write his name the whole time and was acting like he had no clue what I was talking about! Should he be this manipulative at 4? But, atleast I am still a little smarter than him! haha

We had a meeting with the speech teacher yesterday. He will go to speech class twice a week, one day will be one on one with her and the other will be 1.5 hrs of class with 8 other kids. I am really looking forward to watching his progress and seeing him become more confident in his speaking. They also think that his writing ability will improve once he hears the correct sounds from the letters and getting him started will help with reading as well, whereas if we didn't get him in he more than likely would be delayed in reading. I will keep everyone posted on his progress!
