School Fun

Here are some random fun things we did in school last week:

Bubby had to create a mnemonic to help him remember the names of the planets in order (closest to the sun to furthest from the sun).

If it is difficult to read, it says: "Miss Vickie Eats Marshmallow (and) Jelly Sandwiches Using Nice Plates". I was impressed!

Here he is building his Solar System with Dad:

And my favorite: I was having a hard time getting Bubby to grasp the concept of Declarative vs. Interrogative sentences. He couldn't understand why we couldn't just call it a sentence vs. a question (Honestly, I can feel his pain on that one). Anyway, one of the days I had to nap in the afternoon so I could go in to work that night, Fancy took the mission upon herself. She helped him come up with a Venn Diagram . I got up and Bubby proclaimed, "Mom, I GET IT NOW!". He took me to the diagram and explained it EXACTLY. He aced the test the next day on the topic.

Should I be concerned that my 7th grader explained it better than I could? I mean worried about ME, not HER!

I love that girl!
