Noah had to turn a pumpkin into the main character or setting of a book he loves for a project at co-op. He loves ALL the books he's read so far in the Captain Awesome series, so his was an easy pick. He even turned down a Lego pumpkin idea to match the Lego book I got him at Anna's school's Book Fair. How awesome and easy would a Lego head pumpkin be? Totally awesome.
But even totally awesome is just not as awesome as Captain Awesome. See?
Tickled at how well Noah pulled it off. And I only helped a little! He has a week now to prep for the oral report part. Piece of cake! Good job, Noah!
And speaking of good job, Noah also did a pretty good job representing his first 9 weeks of Grade 2.5. He got all A's and B's and one annoying C - Social Studies is such a pain... for the second year in a row - ugh! We are tweaking a few things about how we cover the material and I am confident Noah will be able to pull that grade up by Christmas. There is no way we are letting the Middle Ages take us down!

We struggle with Social Studies too... uhhh....totally hated it when I was in school, and having to revisit with my own kids is just as bad. blah.
I struggle with how hard the curriculum is he is doing ... World History, year 2, in second grade. It's a LOT of info. And let's be honest ... we didn't do World History til high school! I am thinking next year I will shift to government, economy, and such like I did with my third graders in unit studies just to give him a break from the rigorous pace we are working at now. :S
