It almost comes to an end. Just three days left and the 3rd grade year will soon be over. I have not posted B's school pictures as intended. Now I need to rush a little bit and just brief it through.
Silk worm project started right after we came back from Taiwan in early May.
Then came the big day. Soon after the first silk moth appeared, in the past two weeks each day new silk moths came out. The 3rd graders were busy matching and mating their silk moths. Amanda and Bennett were not successful making their moths mate and they kept trying at almost every recess. Becky then kindly offered hers "for better selection" and both moths flapped their wings at Becky's moth. Not hard to imagine what happened... Both Amanda and Bennett's moths were males.
The dress-up biography project was a while ago. (maybe in March?) The kids were assigned to research and study these well-known people's life in the past. The project ended with a cursive written report (or a typed one) and a read-aloud presentation in costume.
