Farming With the IPAD

Junior's next school unit, which we are starting in July, will be on farming. Today we were looking at some fun farm apps on the ipad. Yesterday I had shown him the Farm Story app but he wasn't terribly impressed. I went ahead and planted a bunch of stuff for him to see if I could get him more interested once he had something to really see and watch grow. Today everything was ready for harvesting and then he had "money" to add animals to his farm. He loved it and kept wanting to add cows. He thought it was great to pick the fruit and veggies and then plow the ground for more.
We both had a great time and in true Junior fashion he kept me laughing the whole time.
I just love how focused he is when he is playing these "games". It may technically be a game but it was also a great way to teach him.
He stayed focused like that for about a half hour before wanting to move on to something else.

I spent some more time working on the ProLoQuo2Go program and he loves his new "I Want" boards. I had started them yesterday but got them mostly finished up today. Now when he chooses a story during his treatment time it will automatically go to a board with all his favorite stories so he can choose one(this is just books on tape so we are not talking about listing all his books which would be impossible). I don't have to drag them all out to show him so he can pick(got to love anything that saves time and makes life easier). I can't say how much I love this program. I was adding his books and got to his Amelia Bedelia books on tape and was able to just add another layer so he just picks Amelia Bedelia and it goes to another board with all of those listed. Can you tell I am having as much fun as he is with all this. It will still be awhile before I have it like I want it but at least the basics are up so he is able to use it. I am trying to make it as easy and quick as possible for both of us.
