What to do with Rosie?

Rosie's blowing my min. She corrected my reading earlier today. She is adding 3 digits in her head and shows unbelievable numeracy in her thinking.

Right Now Rosie is making Myles fruit kabob sticks for his party. So she can center the decorative sticker perfectly on the end of the stick she is asking what is in the middle. "The "a" or the "s"? I think it's between them but I don't think the (kabob) stick will fit!"

I ask we what the sticker says.
"SMASH"

So I start to say the middle is where there are equal letters on each side so it's the "a"

I KNOW THAT MOM. BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS SYMBOL!

the sticker doesn't say smash
It says SMASH!

She is smarter than me.

We baked cupcakes and made fruit kabobs and brought them to Myles at lunch! So funto eat with the big kids. We made a huge mess in the back yard. Then went to school.

Today was Myles's birthday. Lots of fun. Lots of excitement. Our work right now is all focused on community building. We are learning to follow the 4 rules of our team- be kind, be respectful,be safe, and try and have fun!

Ideas we are cultivating involve community units and how a team is different than a family or a class. We are also working on using "random" selection for turn taking. We use dice, coins, shuffle option and even a random number generator.

We are working on saving our emergency voices for true emergencies and ways to allow everyone to have a power and responsibility commiserate with their age and ability. All 3 kids are being asked to cooperate outside of their comfort. The growth is lovely.
