Instead of telling him, "We're going to
learn about the Arctic today and I have lots of fun things planned!" (My
ds would resist if I did this), maybe you could you just introduce the topic in
a sneaky way--read the Polar Bear book as a bedtime story, then casually talk
about the book over breakfast ("I wonder how many seals a polar bear eats
in a week.") or ask him to draw a picture about the story the next morning
(my ds LOVES the dry erase board!). Maybe go to the
library and find a National Geographic video on the Arctic. I have discovered
that if I put a poster on the wall, my ds memorizes it. It's weird, but it works.
Maybe just explore and experiment with different ways of approaching
education--to try to find what works best for him.
Maybe you could "pretend" and teach
him--you could be a seal and he could be a polar bear and tell him that polar bears
wait on the ice to see a seal and then the bear grabs it from the water!
