Finally the day Frederick has been waiting for since May--the start of school! Of course Frederick was seeing Emily practically every day all summer, but that wasn't school and so wasn't the same at all. So today we headed out with his backpack stuffed with new pencils, a ruler, glue sticks and a scissors along with all the other supplies he needs. We really didn't do a good job recording everything he did in school last year. This year, we will be much better. Here is just a very very tiny sampling of all the work he did.
First thing to note is this short story binder that he and Emily put together last year. Each story was about 4 or 5 pages long.
The stories tended to feature Frederick as the main star.
Here we see Frederick heading off on a train to somewhere we can only imagine.
Here is Frederick in the winter--happy as usual.
Next I would like to point out the expansive collection of science books Frederick put together. Each one featured information about the theme of the week. Here is just a small sampling.
Here is his book on lightning. Did you know that when lightning strikes it makes a hole in the air called a channel?
Here is his cloud book. Did you know that cirrus clouds indicate that the weather is going to change soon?
Here is his book on air. Did you know that when warm air flows up, cold air rushes in below--that is what makes wind!
Here is his book on whales. Did you know that whales sleep with only one eye open, and with half their brain conscious at all times? Imagine what that's like!
Frederick also brought home a project each week. Here is a lantern he made.
Here is a wind chime--I think this must have been during Air week.
Here is a rabbit sitting on his bedside table.
Here is a giant crocodile (this was during crocodile/alligator week).
A stegosaurus, of course. Dinosaurs are always a favorite.
And here is a drawing of a frog (frog week, naturally). We loved this drawing so much we had it framed and it hangs in the stairway on the way upstairs. The woman who framed it said it was the best piece of art she had ever worked on.
What's in store for us this year?

What a creative time he has been having! I hope school can live up to all this.
