A Summer Plan

     So here it is -- a puzzlement: What to do to entertain three boys, ages almost five, six and eight? My answer: work through The Dangerous Book for Boys. When the book first came out, I spoke with my youngest brother about it. He laughed and said that he'd seen the book and that he and our older sib had done pretty much everything in the book at one time or another plus a few extras. There is some wonderful material in the book. In addition we are going to recreate the idea expressed in Paddle-to-the-Sea . The boys and I will create a small wooden boat and set it adrift. 9Once it is built, I will upload pictures for folks to see.)  We will include on it an address where people who find it can notify us... it will be interesting to see what happens!

 

      Meanwhile I am going to begin posting our 'DFB' lesson plans. Anyone who wishs to join us in this event is more than welcome to do so. Off to start the day. Have a wonderful one!
