Today was Max's last day here until he returns in December. We began by doing some reading and wrote an original limerick instead of the usual journal article. Then I gave him a short lesson on surface tension of water and did a little experiment with him in the kitchen using household ingredients. He really enjoyed learning science. We finished the day by reviewing our math from the week. He also took 3 books from the library to read over break: Oliver Twist, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Around the World in 80 days. Max was a joy to teach!
