Yesterday, I spent some time with Josh. He did his desk work for school and then he read to me. He is an amazing reader. We were needing a "little break" as he calls it.....so we went outside and I showed him the bird nest below. We had a real chuckle about the colorful silk flower pedals weaved into the nest...the nest seems to be abandoned...no eggs, no birds found.
We checked out the green house next and then on to the front to see the little flowers that came up voluntary from the pot I had on the porch... he had just been reading about seeds, seedling, sprouts, etc.........and how a seed becomes a plant...seemed timely and appropriate to advance the lesson.
It was chilly out, but we still enjoyed the sunshine and our talk. He teaches me a lot, or at least reminds me of things learned but long forgotten. Josh has grown up so much and he is really a sweet kid.

I appreciate you stepping in to help with school and the little extras you add to make it interesting. That's just what I want (hands-on), yet feel like I do so poorly with.
Very cool bird nest!
Thank you for the appreciation, but it is a joy to watch his enthusiasm for learning. You do just fine. I am sure you do a better job of the actual teaching, but I like the practical hands on stuff.
