Charlie and I were working on a project last night for school and once again I noticed he was improving a lot on reading although Charlie did have a lot of trouble sitting still and focusing on what we were working on. As I was online I came across a new website called Mr. Nussbaum: for Language Arts.
When I visited the site this morning I also noticed there are items for Reading Comprehension which I can’t wait to get Charlie to sit down with me and look through. I saw one for money and since Charlie is obsessed with money and how it was made I might be able to get Charlie to work on these lesson plans.
I would like to invite you to check Mr. Nussbaum if you haven’t had a chance then I would like to invite you to let me know what you think of the website. If you have used Mr. Nussbaum in the past with your children please come and share with Charlie and me what you liked about the site as well as anything you might have disliked about it.
