I am sure Salvador Dali is turning in his grave, but I had fun making it and I think the kids will have fun creating their own Dali creations in a few weeks when I go into the boys’ classrooms to share this project with their classes.

Oh, the tears that have been shed over the stuffed animals vs. the dog. See, our sweet, sweet dog does not want to tear up the stuffed animals…he just wants to rip out their eyes. So, if you leave your stuffed animal on the floor or you leave your bedroom door open…this is what’s likely to happen.
I love my 3rd grade Friday Math Club. I didn’t want to take a picture of all them since they aren’t all my kids and I don’t know how their parents would feel about me putting their faces on here, but here is one of them incognito working on some looping patterns. She figured out (after much, much work) that she had made a mistake early on and her pattern wasn’t working, but we had a lot of fun and she did get it figured out.
The third graders have been studying Pacific Northwest Native Americans.

Being flexible is an important part of TKD…the more flexible you are, the higher you can kick.
Self defense
Liam and the girl in this picture were the only two red belts testing last night. They will both be training for the next 8 months to earn their black belt in November. Pretty cool!
Colm was a rock star at his testing tonight. It amazes me how much better he has gotten at TKD since we first started. I love to see him do so well at it and when I see his eyes fill up with pride at a job well done…it’s awesome.
Self-defense…I hope that if they ever (God forbid) really do need to defend themselves that they will remember their TKD training

Motivation! Colm earned a trophy this testing period for his behavior at home which included things like making his bed, setting the table and doing things the first time he was asked.
