It was beautiful today so Kendall played a bit outside before dinner. After dinner, we argued a little about which homework first and what he could do solo but we worked it out. After letter and spelling practice, we finished the math in his homework packet. We started a The Mouse and The Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary since he needs to complete a book report by the end of May.
Young Ralph lives in a knothole in room 215 of the Mountain View Inn, and in his short life he's seen plenty of families come and go. The only difference, it seems, is that some are more generous with their crumbs than other. Then Keith and his parents check in, and they've brought something new: a toy motorcycle that's just the right size for an adventure-seeking mouse! Ralph has always dreamed of venturing beyond the second floor, and now is his chance. Unfortunately, his first attempt at a ride lands him right at the bottom of the wastepaper basket, where he has to wait for someone to find him. Luckily, Keith is sympathetic, and generously encourages Ralph to ride. He teaches him the secret to starting the bike ("You have to make a noise...pb-pb-b-b-b") and the tiny mouse adventurer is on his way!
Buenas noches!
