We've had a rough couple of days. Several eruptions have occurred, the like of which I've not seen since Mt. St. Helens. We have been able to complete our lessons, then we skedaddle outside before either of us blows again. There must be something in the air...
She finally told me the short-vowel sound of the letter E today. Success!! Being patient (I can be patient. Sometimes.) has paid off. There's a lesson in that. We made a macaroni letter E and we made a drum from a metal can, a balloon and duct tape. Take that, McGyver!
We spent some time caring for Goldie, v5. I considered it a huge success because I a) was able to capture him, thereby making the cleaning of the entire tank a reality and b) did not kill him as a result of thoroughly cleaning his tank. Whew! Also, I prevented DD from tipping the cup that Goldie was vacationing in. Disaster averted.
We also made a drum for no particular reason. I checked out a book called Nifty Thrifty Music Crafts and we happened to have the materials on hand. Luckily, I hadn't taken our recycling yet. Later, she composed a great little song. Here are some of the lyrics:
Hey Kids!
Listen to me.
When I was a baby
I ate spaghetti from a tree
I am not making this up. I'm not talented enough. So maybe she will be a singer/songwriter/YouTube star next year. This year, she just wants to be Ariel.
