October

Yes,  I know, I suck at this.  But I'm trying to get better.  Here goes:  We did a unit on Tall Tales and one of the books--Thunder Rose--was about a little girl who lassoed tornadoes.  I thought it'd be really cool for the kids to try so I got a long jump rope from the coach, tied a loop in it and showed them how.  They had to lasso the bad bumblebeeto (from SkippyJon Jones story) and save the classroom.  There were LOT of giggles and fun and quite a few good little cowpokes.
