Insect Project

For the first time ever Ethan can bring bugs to school. So I let him bring a cricket on Tuesday and he snuck it on Wednesday. Tuesday he got to show the class and they talked about it in science and he was able to pick some grass for it to eat. Wednesday he let it out on the bus, then tried to catch it. Didn't work, he saw it leap back into nature when the bus stopped and he got off. "Mom, now it's free!" Hopefully it didn't get ran over, he would have had a short lived 2nd chance. Can you imagine? "I'm free, I'm free....no more glass jar and no more things poking at me...........Oh sh!t, what's that........SMUSH!!!"
Ethan's teacher sent him to the GATE this week. Jared said that she would only do that if he wasn't showing any problems in his classwork and was finishing to quickly, so this will keep him busy and challenge him. So far he got to start an 'Insect Project' which is basically a report where he gets to draw, list, and explain about 30 different bugs. He will meet with her a few times a week and he will delve into science a bit more and learn a bit more too!
