Take a guess! No, we aren't torturing apples...


Max had a four day weekend this last week and just to be sure he wasn't bored, he also had a backpack full of homework and extra credit projects. I felt great about consistently pacing the work, reading/math/reading/spelling, spreading it out throughout the days. We even tackled the optional sea life research projects. The last assignment (worth an additional 5 blue slips), was to build your own sculpture of a Sea Urchin. I looked throughout the house for the usual suspect of crafting materials, playdough (didn't have any), pipecleaner (nope), toothpicks (nope), at this point I was out of ideas and stumped. But Max really wanted those extra 5 blue slips. This is what he came up with ............all on his own. He is really excited about it.
