The Blind Men and The Elephant
By John Godfrey Saxe
It was six men of Indostan, to learning much inclined,
who went to see the elephant (Though all of them were blind),
that each by observation, might satisfy his mind.
The first approached the elephant, and, happening to fall,
against his broad and sturdy side, at once began to bawl:
“[Why], bless me! but the elephant, is nothing but a wall!”
The second feeling of the tusk, cried: “Ho! what have we here,
so very round and smooth and sharp? To me tis mighty clear,
this wonder of an elephant, is very like a spear!”
The third approached the animal, and, happening to take,
the squirming trunk within his hands, “I see,” quoth he,
the elephant is very like a snake!”
The fourth reached out his eager hand, and felt about the knee:
“What most this wondrous beast is like, is mighty plain,” quoth he;
“Tis clear enough the elephant is very like a tree.”
The fifth, who chanced to touch the ear, Said; “E’en the blindest man
can tell what this resembles most; Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an elephant, is very like a fan!”
Our next book club will be held on November 21. The book is Summer of the Monkeys. You’re going to love this fun summertime adventure as we move into winter!
Weather
This week, we’re going to learn about air pressure and you will make your own barometer!
Read pages 16-30 in The Kid’s Book of Weather Forecasting. Follow the instructions on page 22 to make your own barometer. Find a place in your home where you can set your barometer, ideally away from direct sunlight and drafts. (Note, you can use a wide mouth mason jar in place of the empty can, if that’s better for you. And, an 8.5×11″ piece of paper, folded in thirds will work instead of posterboard.)
Continue recording the daily weather, adding your observations with your barometer. (See the checklist for more info on how to record barometric pressure on your log. Here is the link again if you need to print more log pages.)
Do one or more experiments related to air pressure. Show it to a family member and explain to them why it works. Here are several ideas.
Field Trip! BYU Broadcasting Building
During class time, we will drive to Provo to tour the BYU Broadcasting Building. Do you have a favorite show that airs on BYUTV? Mine is Relative Race but we also enjoy Random Acts and Studio C! Now is your chance to visit the place they make that magic happen! Bring your best manners and any questions that you have about your favorite show.
Watch the following clips from the show Random Acts.
And one more, just because!
Have a Kindness Conversation with your family. Why is kindness important? What kind things have impacted your life? What about your parents and siblings?
Brainstorm kind acts you could do to bring a smile to someone’s face. Plan to carry out one of your ideas. Also, watch for other people doing kind deeds. When you notice someone’s kind act, be sure to thank them — even if the kindness wasn’t directed to you. Has someone recently done something kind and unexpected for you?
