From the time we arrived home from school today until the time we went upstairs to read books, with one grudging break for dinner, Mr. D worked on this amazing project.
The 10 times tables from one to 102. (He wanted to get to 1000 and then wowed himself by going past it.)
I provided the notebook paper and occasional coaching with regards to the orientation of the "bump" of a nine. (Eventually he figured this out himself, repeating my reminder, not like a P, not like a P," under his breath.)
He's looking forward to showing his teacher Ms. Fabulous, tomorrow. I'm tempted to attach a Post-It that says, "His idea, I swear!"

Holy nubby pencil, Batman! Someday, this will all make sense vis a vis what he chooses to do with his life, and you'll say, "Yeah, well...I'll never forget that night you wrote out all the 10 times tables to 102 -- and NOW look at you!"
is there anything left of his little fingertips? I have to say I am very impressed and what a great story for his potential future kids...
Wow.....such neat handwriting, too. No need for flashcards at your house I can see.
Grammy will be _so_ impressed, and I have to say I am too.
OMG!
Very impressive. It warms my beancounter heart.
It's so amazing to watch kids when they get an idea in their little heads! Amazing work Mr. D!
Did I ever tell you what E said she did in her Kindergarten readiness assessment? "I tried to count to 1000, but I ran out of time!"
