Headed to the library today to grab some African folktales for our next unit and more reading material for Sylvia. I got a ton of Anansi tales, including one retelling titled Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears. Becca helped me put the books in the bag, noticed the title, and asked to read it in the car. So I handed it to her and we drove home. The library (tiny though it is) is very close to our house. When we got home, Becca said, "This book doesn't tell us why mosquitoes really buzz in people's ears!" She was about halfway through and I had to explain that this wasn't a scientific text, but a folktale!
We made paper today (actually, we recycled it, but it's close enough) and Becca finally got to have free rein with her Ancient China box! Heaven!
