This weekend in the Ilderton Fall Fair so this afternoon the lad will be putting some things together for the fair. Hopefully he'll win a class or two, but time will tell. :)
Reading
we read the paper over breakfast. We talked about the teacher's not wanting to do extra-curricular work and what that means for the students.
In this book we read "the pipers at the gates of dawn". The lad was all curious....would they get the lost otter pup back to his dad...and what was that thing they followed the music of?
Did you know that in the Fiji island warriors used weapons made to look like pineapples? This made the lad laugh out loud.
The council of the munchkins. This chapter from the wizard of Oz caused the lad to occasionally stop his Armour-building to listen closely and to take a quick peek at pictures. He thought it funny that the house landed right on top of the really bad person (the wicked witch of the east).
We learned about the pica. Did you know this animal is a little hay farmer? He collects and carefully dries hay for use in the winter.
And the Tundra swan. Their young mature at a faster rate than other swans. They are the smallest North American swan.

Sight words
Today we learned: Will. We also went through a stack of words we hadn't looked at much, just to test if he knew them. We added to our words known wall.
Human Body
we didn't do this today. We did so a lot of talking about different ways that the body works, and since he was wearing his suit of armour for much of the day we talked about ways to protect yourself, and how important hand-eye coordination would be if you were a knight.
Miscellaneous Fill In Stuff
Prep for the Fair
Cookies. Build a farm vehicle out of lego. Collect 100 of the same item. Brownies. Colour one half of a picture. Nature item.
While working we listened to The Stories Mother Nature Told her Children and Adventures in Odyssey.
well...that was unexpected. We go out for our nature walk to collect things for the fair and we find a wee mousey. He's now safely ensconced in a five gallon aquarium behind Jim's chair in the living room.
