KUMON

Connor started KUMON last year when he showed an interest in Math and his public school said they  didn't really have any enrichment for him. KUMON is a 7 day a week, 60 math problems a day very slow moving program to make sure the kid masters the skill before moving on to the next. He started with addition, then subtraction, then multiplication, 2 digit multiplication, 3 digit multiplication, division, two digit division, 3 digit division, fractions, adding fractions and now subtracting fractions with the lowest common denominator and greatest common denominator.

He was getting sick of the rigorous program and was ready for a break starting in February. Well he talked to his instructor about wanting to quit and then she lit a spark under him. He found out he is one letter (subject) away from algebra. So once he gets through decimals this third grader of mine will be doing algebra. Say what. He definitely didn't get his math smarts from his Mama.

Proud of you Conman for doing things that are hard and challenging so your mind can grow and you can becoming a more rounded student who can excel!
This is a picture of a medal that he was awarded at this years KUMON ceremony for being 2 grades ahead of public school math, 1 grade year ahead of charter schools.
