Ok, I know this isn’t the most spectacular animation ever. But keep in mind, he’s only 8. I personally think he did rather well. This is Link from The Legend Of Zelda throwing his sword around. :X

We survived the first week of school. Woohoo. Eric said today they took a test to see what reading level they are one, but he didn’t get the results back yet. I’m kind of anxious to see what level he’s on.

I also got a note sent home from his Gifted & Talented teacher. He’s going to have a different one this year, and the note basically said he’s going to have GT class every thursday for 2 hours. Also, they will be learning Shakespeare. I find that so strange, we weren’t introduced to Shakespeare until middle school. Well, maybe not really “learning” Shakespeare. This is basically what the letter said:

Grades 3-5 Program Components:
1. creativity and problem solving using Odyssey of the Mind curriculum
2. leadership and fine arts with a focus on the works of Shakespeare
3. math, logic, and reasoning using a variety of challenging verbal and nonverbal activities

Either way, since my kiddo loves to learn, he’s going to have a blast.
