He had his open house today. Silly me for not taking pics of him with his teacher or in his classroom. This is the only shot I got, at the parking lot, before we were to leave. Everyone was actually buckled up already when I remembered that I had not taken a pic for the day yet. I insisted that he get down the car so I can take a pic. Hehe. I'm fortunate that he's a good sport.
Scouting and basketball are where his interests lie. He does not have very many after-school activities compared to other boys his age. I don't like to overschedule my kids. Kids should be allowed to be kids, I believe. I don't have to, nor do I want to, meticulously plan their day's activities.
This was the bear scout badge he earned at last Saturday's Blue & Gold banquet. It isn't sewn onto his uniform yet, which means that he still needs to do a good deed. ;)
Reading is very much a part of his daily life. He enjoys reading so much, in fact, that I've used this as my currency in dealing with unacceptable behavior. When he misses a homework (usually because he leaves it in school when he's in a rush to get back to his reading), the consequence is that he cannot read for pleasure for a week!
His Social Studies project was to create a diorama depicting a typical day in the life of a young person during the pioneer times. He chose the life in the wagon train as his subject. He also wrote a descriptive report on it. I was particularly impressed with his written report. He went above and beyond the required 1 page essay. His report was quite creative, taking the form of a diary entry. I'm one proud momma!
