Big week at school!

Last week, Ari was the mystery reader for Zev's class. 

He was so excited that Ari was there. 

I think he looks like he is having a pretty good time.

He does think all the "Elephant and Piggie" books are hilarious. 

Zev's teachers took these.  How cute are these guys together? 

Zev really loves his dad. He is a pretty lucky kid.

Last week was parent's showcase week at Zev's school.  Different parents came in to teach about something.  Here, one of the dads came to coach soccer. 

Zev was really excited about this one. 

Here is a sequence of him in action! 

Later that day, the kids went to the book fair. They each got to write a list of books that they wanted.  Zev's list was great. 

It was very readable, and he copied both the book titles correctly.  He even told me that this one had an exclamation point at the end, which he included. 

He told me he put books that I would want on his list. 

On Thursday, the kids went on a field trip to a science fair at Levine Academy. 

Zev thought it was really fun to ride in a car with his friends. 

Here he is working with magnets. 

more magnet activities...

listening carefully

I was told that after they did this one, he said, "Wow! I would like to see that again!" Apparently that was charming enough that they let him do it twice. 

He told me the next time he held it while his friend poured. 

On another day, a mom brought in her viola.  He told me that "It was an instrument that starts with "V," but it is not a violin.  It has two things with horse hair strings!" 

Ari went to Tahl's class to show them how he makes green juice.

He said that all the kids that were there early enough to help make the juice drank it all and thought it was good, and all the kids who got there a little too late to help make it wouldn't touch it.

I taught a little lesson in Zev's class about sinking and floating. 

He was so excited I was there. 

Here he is filling out the chart. 

If I had it to do again, I would do the lesson differently, so all the kids didn't have to wait for a turn.  Oh well. 

After I left, Zev got to bake cookies with another mom! I'm definitely the lamest parent in the class... 

Friday was grand parent's day! Zev was SO excited that Pops and Gram got to come. 

Here he is showing them where he signs in. 

He told me he was working on some art with Gram.

I love this picture! 

Thanks so much to Dad and Stacy.  Zev loves the books you bought him at book fair, and he loved spending time with you at his school!
