#5thOnThe5th: The First 5 Weeks
We’ve made it through the first five weeks of our new school year and it’s been slow, but full.
The first day of every new school year never goes as planned and this year was no exception.
KC set up workstations for himself, working his way through each task around the table
FunSpot + GatorLand = GatorSpot
However, I would definitely say that the ultimate highlight of this whole month was our unexpected field trip to FunSpot. We heard about the opportunity for free unlimited-rides armbands if you made it there for the ground breaking ceremony for the all-new GatorSpot attraction.
It was too HUGE to miss.
2 boys, 2 gators
When the Gator handler realized they were twins he called for the other handler to bring over his gator because “twin boys need twin gators.”
Until next time, remember:

#5thOnThe5th: The 5th Day of 5th Grade
We’re Celebrating! It’s the 5th day of 5th grade.
With an afternoon bike ride.
If you’d like to keep in touch with how that happens this year,
I’ll be keeping this series going on the 5th of each month.

#5thOnThe5th: A New Year
It’s January 5th, 2015 (1/5/15) and it is the first day of 5th grade for KC & KJ here at MunroePalms Learning Centre. As usual, the 1st day NEVER goes as planned. So even though what I planned was short and light, to be followed by a trip to the Botanical Garden for a nature walk. We did not make it to the botanical garden.
What Happened?
Well, we began our day with a nature study of a different kind. When MrC. attempted to place the box of Christmas decorations in the storage shed he discovered a couple of frogs had made themselves a winter hideaway. He immediately solicited the twins’ assistance in gently evicting these special guests. They were successful and made a comfy place for the little amphibians in a bucket. I observed from a safe distance.
After that excitement settled down I was able to make progress on reintroducing the CORE 3: Bible, Math, & English. Then, MrC. surprised us all with a trip to the pet store for new fish.
5 fish for 5th grade.
Since we didn’t have time to drive across town to the botanical garden, I took the boys to one of the parks close by. But, I didn’t realize that both boys also brought along their reading books. As soon as we arrived KC & KJ sat on the swings reading.
Seriously! I had to confiscate their books and tell them to “Go Play!”
