Pete let us borrow his camera to get a Hi-Def recording of Sam reciting the capitals of the 50 states (see video above). Dad e-mailed the video link to his teacher, Mrs. Rather. Sam also decided one day to write all of the states and capitals in his homework journal, which is pretty good since usually the nightly homework journal assignments are something like "write three words that start with the letter T".
Speaking of the homework journal, a fun assignment Sam had about 2 weeks ago was when he had to find 5 words words using the letters in "WINTER HOLIDAYS". He started with some simple words like "win" and "net", but then Dad, Mom, and Pete helped him find some longer words like "destroy". Sam also found the word "death", which Dad thought his teacher might not be too happy about. Sam continued and found several Christmas words in there. As a side question, Dad asked what other word could be made from the letters in "tinsel", and Pete and Sam came up with not only "silent" but also "listen".
