Back to the school stuff!

Well, we've finished the book "Where The Red Fern Grows". This book was a HIT and the first pic is Camo painting his favorite scene from the book. We really enjoyed this book! He's also read, "The Pharaoh's of Ancient Egypt", "Truth or Dare", and "Fantastic Mr. Fox" this month. He's about 3/4 of the way through "The Copelands", too, which is a western that he's enjoying!

We've continued to work on his pyramid for Egypt and have decided to also put the inner workings into it. Chambers, etc. will be added to the inside, thanks to my genius friend, Heather, giving me the idea!

We still have the tadpoles and this week, we did an experiment to see how they breathe underwater. We put food coloring right in front of the face of one and watched as he breathed it in, and then it came out his gills! FASCINATING! If you look in the photo of the tadpole, you can see the ripples of color coming out his sides.

In math, we've been working on lines, angles, segments, polygons, and fractions. Math is really coming along and Camo is growing in leaps and bounds in math!

I did just order a new grammar curriculum after spotting one too many mistakes in the last one. ugh. So that should be in soon and we'll continue with the parts of speech and diagramming sentences!

In OTHER news...(ha)...basketball season has begun AND Camo had his first campout with the scouts! SO MUCH FUN! Except for those 27 degree nights... sorry, Camo!
