After all that fuss on Tuesday, Evan ASKED to do school on Wednesday. I guess all the strife wasn't in vain. He didn't want to repeat it!! LOL So he did the six and seven addition families for math and read two pages in his reading book.

Adam, Ryan, and I worked on limericks for Language. We even wrote a few:

There once was a boy named Ryan

Who was very scared of flyin'

But he strapped on some wings

To see marvelous things

And spent the whole time cryin'

There once was a boy named Adam

The cats wouldn't let him pat 'em

He grabbed their long tails

They let out great wails

But it was too late. He had 'em

Evan is a smart little boy

And he always shared his toy

But one day it got broke

When it fell from an Oak

And he was very annoyed

Ryan showed quite a talent for it. He and I wrote another one about a video game at the skating rink today.

There once was a game where you race

You got a free race for first place

I tried really hard

I made it a yard

And then I fell flat on my face

You may have noticed how complimentary Evan's limerick is. I'm really having a time with the older boys picking on him lately. Sometimes they're truly being mean but mostly, they're just teasing. Still... too much derogatory teasing isn't good for a little boy who already thinks life is very unfair. He has a classic case of middle child syndrome! So when we started on Evan's limerick, the older two were saying mean things. :( I did a lot of directing on that one and made it something that would make Evan feel good.
