Friction

Josh stays after school with me a couple days each week. He loves to watch these children's videos called "The Magic School Bus." They are about an elementary class that takes field trips with their Science teacher and learn all kinds of things first-hand. I guess he has been learning things from watching them because after watching one on movement the other day, he applied his new understanding. Today as we left the building to go home, he was carrying a package of cheese crackers on top of his library book (with the slick plastic library cover). After the crackers fell on the floor twice, he asked me if they fell because there was no friction.

Manners

As we were getting ready to leave for church this morning, Katie asked Josh to help her buckle her seatbelt. His reply was "Yes Ma'am." I guess he realized that he didn't have to call his sister Ma'am, so he quickly said, "Yes, Katie."
