Aspen's last project for school was making a bottle doll. They had to choose from certain historical characters and she picked Christa Mcauliffe. Ryan said he wanted to help her do it so they could have some father daughter time. But let's just say Aspen wanted to dress her as a princess and we thought she should be an astronaut so she wasn't to thrilled. Hopefully someday she will appreciate the time with Ryan.
Aspen had a school concert on April 2nd. The 2nd and 3rd graders made up different poems about colors and then the 4th and 5th graders played the instruments to the poem. Aspen's class made up a poem to darkness. Here is how it went.
At Frontier Academy they teach Core Knowledge. They just ended the section on continents and now they are learning Aesop Fables. As part of their grade they did a mock trial and the fable characters had to plead their case and say if either they learned their lesson or if they taught the other character a lesson. They had a judge, jury, bailiffs, attorneys, defendants and plaintiffs. Britain's fable was The Grasshopper and The Ants. Britain was the ant. He had to tell the fable and the lesson he taught the grasshopper. Which was "There is a time for work and a time for play." He did a great job and practically recited the fable word for word. They practiced in class and then they got to go to a real court and do it there.
