Math Facts Motivation

Malachi is very unmotivated when it comes to his math fact cards.
Daddy came up with this idea:  Five fact cards, then one corn nut.  Worked pretty well!
 
Then, Malachi came up with this idea on his own: 
The floor puzzle held up the cards, and then when he said the answer, he jumped to the other side to see if it was correct (the answers are on the back of the cards).

One day last week, we took a field trip to an art gallery at ECU.  Uncle Jared had a photograph showing there.  We went and found it.
 

Here is a close-up: 
  
Of course, the nastiest photograph there was Malachi's favorite: 

And here are some pictures from various school days:


To the rescue!

 and, our "Reading Bench":

This made me laugh:

Until next time!
