What is even happening?

It really is. Though I also thought third was a quantum leap up from 2nd.
Ben really coasted through third grade. He and his second grade teacher were unmixy things though, so that might have been why.
Emmett is also doing longitude and latitude, incidentally. He is also working with salt dough.

Salt dough? Whazzit?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Salt dough? Whazzit?

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.)

Man, that's so wrong. That kind of thing is what scared me about the Kitchen Confidential rumors, even after Monique hunted down some debunking of them.

Heh.

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!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We focused on State history in third grade

Which reminds me, on TAR last night, "Pennsylvania, is that a state?" woman also didn't know what state Washington DC was in ("What state is that in, Washington?"). So any benefit of the doubt I was giving her for the PA comment? GONE. She's just completely geographically ignorant about her own country.

Emmett had to do a crossword puzzle recently as well. amych will be pleased to know that it was cheese-based.

Well. Not actually carved out of cheese. Just cheese answers.

OMG, is it your anniversary?

It totally is!

You sneak! You didn't say anything on the train! Mucho congrats!!!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It suddenly strikes me that I should've livened up that third-grade Virginia History diorama by carving John Smith out of gouda.
