okay, since you asked, i'll be brave. today we met with our homeschool group. each child has to make a presentation in their own class each week. this is not show and tell. it must be an educational something presented by the child. well!!! i teach rani's class and today was very interesting. one of the girls brought in a dog's claw that her dog had shed in the back yard. he's a BIG dog so it was a BIG claw.... very cool apparently to not only the boys but the girls also. her presentation was very informative and the discussion that insued was equally interesting to the moms present- we all sat back and giggled at the enthusiasm. other presentations were about the natural cycles of life and how it relates to the frog, starfish and where they live and how they eat, the titanic, the isrealites exodus from egypt, and rani walked her friends through her creative process when she paints (i was given a rare uninhibited window into how my daughter's brain works)... but the dog claw, oh the dog claw..... once classes were over and we headed out to the playground for lunch the girls embarked on a "scientific adventure" to see what they could see. they found bamboo growing in the back of the property, a feather and 2 kinds of poop..... which led them to wonder, "do pandas live in the woods behind the church?" i had to listen to poop desciptions in order to make my guess as to the answer..... i won't write that here but i will tell you that i am not interested in meeting at least one of the animals that left it's remnants! and no, we don't have pandas in this part of the world :) i wonder what chaos it sparked for the boys?
this week will be an adventure with flick because he has taken an interest in this week's history sentence about the plague of the late 1300's.... an interest that only a boy can have and i am nominated to help him research his presentation on said subject to present to his class next week... a class of all boys (and one poor girl) so the grossness factor will be big to accomadate the interest of the audience! be afraid- be very afraid!
okay- tag you're it! if you just read this post, you have to post something yourself:))))) hehehehe- belle

Awesome!! That sounds like a fun adventure! Maybe you should show the documentary video about the astronauts going potty in space to them. I'm sure it would be a big hit with the boys! LOL
And, I'm not taking the tag, because I posted the last couple of things.... Someone else's turn!!
