Isaac was skipped into Algebra 1 a month or so ago based on some test scores. It was very exciting for him because he loves math, but it's definitely proven to be a challenge.

I'd asked Abby if she'd be willing to help him out, so I was gratified when said-big sister took a pen and a sheet of paper and tried to explain a concept to him as dinner was coming to an end tonight.

I'm still not entirely sure that he gets it, but I love seeing my kids help each other out when they can. We were made to need one another, after all, and the world just plain turns better when support is there when it's needed.
