He got his Reflections of Excellence trophy at the awards ceremony and his story has gone on to compete in the district. We should hear how he placed sometime in February. He is very descriptive in his creations, adding detail about emotions, color, texture, and smells. He also builds a good character. With these talents, it pains me that his reading and writing skills are down around a 3rd or 4th grade level.
Today is a hodgepodge of activity.
We've done some landscape planning, some moving, some bird research and lots of housework. Jason and I have selected the vegetables he is going to grow in his garden this year. Normally, he only has a two or three square foot area, but this year, it will be a bit bigger, probably an eight to twelve square foot area will work for him. We plan to do a raised bed and plant potatoes and peas as well as his usual carrots and tomatoes. This is the first time we've done any research.
