Playing the Game
Author Unknown
(Sep 12)
Whatever the game and whatever the odds,
The winning is all up to you.
For it isn’t the score and it isn’t the prize
That counts when the playing is through.
(Sep 19)
In the great game of life it’s the purpose to win
And the courage to fight to the end,
That determines for you what degree of success
Will be scored to your credit, my friend.
(Sep 26)
The best you can do will be quite enough
To defeat your opponents today;
For you never can lose and you never can fail
If you “put all you’ve got” in your play.
(Oct 3)
And the greatest reward that your efforts can bring,
Is the fact that you stood to the test,
You played a clean game and you fought a good fight,
And you always were doing your best.
Shuffle Dance
Are you practicing your shuffle dance? It’s hard! I have to try the step a million times; over and over again, but, Fielding and I are getting better 🙂

Make a lapbook
This week we are continuing to learn about famous inventors and inventions. I am hoping that you know a few things about some of the most famous inventions. Maybe you are inspired to think of how some of the inventions came from lots of trial and error and some happened by mistake.
Have you ever made a lapbook before? It is a folder that contains pictures and writing of things you have learned. I gave the lapbook to your mom and she can help you get started. It will take a lot of writing, or you can draw pictures. You can have help if the writing gets to be too much. Will you bring it to class and show us yours?
Also, I noticed that there isn’t a picture to put on the front of your lapbook. Can you make a cover for it? Maybe you can give it a title, draw a picture, or anything else that shows what your lapbook is about.
(If you have a sibling in the Juniors class, make sure you don’t throw the paper away that has all the facts about the inventor. They are going to need those for next week!)
You are an inventor!
A lot of inventions begin by someone noticing there is a problem and trying to fix it. For example, I had scratches from my dogs on my back door and invented something that covers, protects and keeps them from damaging it. I started marketing my product with the help of Melody and Talmage’s dad. I never quite followed through, but maybe someday I’ll get it marketed and online. Just think, I’m saving the world one door at a time with my invention!
I want you to think of something you can invent! It might be something you can actually design and build. Or, it might be something that you think of, and maybe don’t have all the skills that it would take to build it, but with serious thought and trial and error you can come pretty close.
Create it! Show us! Tell us about your invention. What does it do? How does it work?
Finish Reading!
Finish reading Prairie Thief! We’ll do our book club in class!
