Grade 2 Week 45 ( June 25th - July 1st )

We went through Big Nate this week in a big way! :)

And of course, Dav Pilkey is quite the staple around here, it seems :)

As always, we try to expand our minds and horizons and learn more about just about anything.

and then there are those that are just for fun.

We haven't spent THAT much time out of doors because the temperatures have just been insane.
On the other hand, when we do get out, we love seeing the butterflies hanging around the wet grass that has just been watered, and marveling about how long the weeds have become.

The highlight of the week has got to be when we went to the library for a Marionette performance.  We were there a few minutes before time, and the gentleman who was performing was asking for volunteers from the audience.

And guess who held his hand so high up so eagerly, and was thrilled beyond belief when he got chosen to go up on stage later?

THIS LITTLE BOY!!!

After giving you guys a bit of instruction as to what to expect, he started his show and introducing all his different puppets.

At different points, he would bring his puppets down to the audience and interact with them,

and the kids were so thrilled and just enjoyed every minute.

Then, all the volunteers got to go on stage and were handed their own little marionette to work with.

They were shown a thing or two by the master himself, but they had fun fun fun!

Stay sweet and full of marvel, little boy :)
