June 5

Not a hugely productive day, as Julie's got a doctor's appointment this afternoon.  But we rehashed chapter 7 in Life of Fred, and read thru Chapter 8.  I feel like the math is getting a bit more challenging, as he's really working on learning multiplication and division at the same time.  So far, he seems pretty enthusiastic.  I've explained that I didn't force Jessie to memorize her multiplication facts, and it made it a lot harder on her.  This will be the summer of multiplication tables - Sam is learning them because he has to, Jessie will be learning them because she didn't do it originally, and Julie... well, she'll just be super ahead when it comes time for her to learn.
