Fourth grade is so different from third.
It really is. Though I also thought third was a quantum leap up from 2nd.
Emmett is also doing longitude and latitude, incidentally. He is also working with salt dough.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hey, today (in addition to being Tom and Nora Day), is Dine For America day, with proceeds going to hurricane relief.

Emmett is also doing longitude and latitude, incidentally. He is also working with salt dough.
Salt dough? Whazzit?

Jason Alexander was last to know that his sitcom was canceled. He found out about it in USA Today.

Dough with lots of extra salt in it. So it won't spoil I suppose while they're making topographical maps of California. Later comes the infamous "build a model of a California Mission" project, which every California public school child has done in 4th grade since the birth of man. (Which preceded the California Missions, so it was an especially difficult and enigmatic assignment back then.)

We focused on State history in third grade. I wonder what sort of geography projects we'll have this year. I hate the frigging projects. For Ben's first book report this year, he had the choice to make a triarama/quadrarama (don't ask), a collage, or a crossword puzzle, using 10 words from the story. We totally went Crossword puzzle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nick and Jessica? Oh noes!
