Mission accomplished.

We had Lego Club this afternoon with the homeschool group. Today's challenge was to create a vehicle that could survive going down a ramp and over a jump - oh, and it had to safely transport an egg in the process. N. got right to work on the challenge when we got there, and she was the first to successfully complete her mission. She received a certificate, a pencil, and a small checkered flag, and was quite proud of her accomplishment! Eventually I got into the action and tried to create a car with a trailer that carried my egg, but it kept jack-knifing partway down the ramp. I did eventually succeed, but it was definitely harder than it looked.

A. sat down to do school with us this morning while N. did math. In one activity he was supposed to look at a number and draw that many balls. A circle seemed simple enough. I know he's capable (he can write a handful of letters when he chooses to), but he just didn't feel like it today. Instead, he just made the correct number of scribble marks. Objective completed. Not pretty, but completed.
