telling our story
I haven’t forgotten about my photo-a-day project(s), I’ve just gotten a bit behind putting the pages together and posting them. I’ve got all the photos and notes done, and have posted a few new family PAD pages. Stay tuned for the rest of them as time allows!
This is a drawing of Abraham Lincoln giving the Gettysburg Address that was today’s homework. Owen also said he wrote a story today inspired by Cicero (!) about a snowball & a boy who go on trial.
As the weather starts to get a little bit nicer, we’ve been playing basketball. Owen beat Kevin & Jack at a game of “HORSE” today. He’s got a decent shot, plus his dribbling has gotten a lot more coordinated.
Pull-ups, pull-ups, pull-ups. Owen & Jack are supposed to do pushups & pull-ups every night. Owen’s up to three sets of about five pull-ups.
Scary. Owen’s hair is getting so long that we’re worried he’s going to be asked to wear a skull cap in the big tournaments. He wore one in his NHS match this week to get used to how it feels.
Look how long his hair is getting!! At least he keeps it clean & brushed. He says he’s going to get it braided in cornrows when we’re in Mexico. We’ll see about that…
The second grade went on their big field trip to the Academy of Natural Sciences to wrap up their dinosaur unit. They saw the skeletons, participated in a dinosaur “dig,” and generally had a great time.
Owen gives me the greatest smile & wave every morning when I drop him off at school.
