Kuba was on the 5th grade spelling bee team. They were in first place for most of the meet, but they didn't win.   Still -they were fantastic!  
And celebrated with a giant VEMONSTER at Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream.

Happy National Creativity Day


Kuba's 4th grade class was featured in a film about creativity, The Creative Brain.  You can see it on Netflix, or even purchase the dvd on Amazon.   His class doesn't show up until 46 minutes into the film, but you'll see them and Kuba even is caught on film responding to a prompt.   Here are some photos from when the film crew was in their classroom.  I also posted some links for info about the film.  Here are the three guidelines to increasing your creativity:   
Try something new
Push Boundaries
Don't be afraid to fail

Bruce! Bruce! Bruce!




Anders was in the middle school play, he was Bruce.
He had to eat a giant chocolate cake as punishment.
He was fantastic in his role!
He also played a Russian henchman.

Abenaki Snake Dance


Today we ended up at the Ethan Allen Homestead.
Rode our bikes in search of adventure.
When we arrived, there was a native American celebration going on and the boys joined in a snake dance that was led by an Abenaki elder.  At the end of the dance we noticed snakes....in the grass. And then we discovered their lair...an old well filled with HUNDREDS of snakes.
Gross and so cool at the very same time.
