Over the Spring Break, Ryan has homework practices more on his cursives and drawing pictures. One of the assignments is "How many people are in your family? Write the number below and draw a picture of your family."
While I was sitting next to him, he was counting the number of people living in the same house and then he drew a picture of us before coloring the pictures. From that point, I questioned him about the coloring the hair and eyes.
This was not problem for him knowing the coloring of our eyes. However, it was somewhat difficult for Ryan to determine what color his older brother, Dylan's hair. So I told him that he is mixed with brown and blond. He mixed with two colors on Dylan's hair. When it came to coloring his dad 's hair, he was thinking carefully and said, "Well, he has no hair!" In fact, he does not have any hair on the top, but told him that he does have hair on the side. He then finished coloring his dad's hair.Once he finished one of his homework assignments, I had tried videoing him about the family picture. He declared, "Mom, I'm very busy" concentrating back on his Hot Wheels.

Wow, cursive at age five? I don't think I attempted that till second grade...and I don't think it was legible to fifth.
Yup, the school education is pushing at an early age especially in academic! Ryan does write a large penmanship, but hopefully he eventually writes smaller in a couple of years. Right now, he also learns to write and spell cheer words- common words such as like, see, can and so forth.
Dylan already learned to write alphabet letters in Pre-school. Now, he can write a short essay. In fact, he just did complete the writing assessment test. The top score is 4. He got both 3 plus (for his thoughts) and 4 for his grammar for the first graders.
Nice picture! The comment about David not having any hair is too funny. I'm sure David didn't find it too hysterical though. :)
