Grade 2 Week 27

This is from a week that was way back in February.  At this moment in time I am swamped with a bunch of different things that I can hardly even remember something from yesterday.

And so, from this choice of books, I'm guessing we were doing Presidents' Week. *wink wink*
This year we finally read the whole Gettysburg Address, and introduced Thomas Jefferson, among others.


We continued our study of various aspects of Black History Month,

but we also had time for the silly :)

and a diverse range of topics as well.

You showed me a pair of Storm Trooper socks that had gotten a little too small, that you had turned into a toy.  When turned upside down, the Storm Trooper looked like an entirely different character.

No matter what I serve for our meals, you hardly complain.  If something disagrees with you, you will just very discretely taste a little bit, and then just not eat any more.  We have never heard you ever complain about any dish or food that I've made.  You are really sweet that way.

Breakfast, however, is something you always scarf down. 

You have a very curious and imaginative mind, and no matter what medium you use to express yourself, it always is unique and interesting. I love how you have captured the essence of the picture in the different expressions in the photo below.

Also, being the goofball that you are, every time we come across one of those "Stand here and stick your face out this hole" thingies, you will be first in line.

We thought that this little red truck at HEB was fun and super cute.

AND you surprised me with a poster one day, with a designed based on Uncle Sam :)
