For home school today we celebrated Albert Einstein's birthday. Josie figured he would be 133 years old today. Off we drove for a tasty breakfast from "Einstein's Bro." When we got home we watched a 3 min documentary. She identified with the fact "at school he was mediocre at best." She was surprised that someone labeled as a genius struggled at school. She asked if that meant she could be a scientist or physicist like he was. Of course I responded with "Absolutely!" She has looked at microscope slides on and off all day, found specimens of her own and wants to make her own slides. She took the picture of him we printed off and typed up her favorite quote from him "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” Taped them together and posted it up on the inside of her closet door. I don't think there could have been a more perfect lesson on day number 3!

love this post. Smart girl you have. The quote is excellent. I think I'm going to have to steal it. Josie reminds me of Flavia. :)
You are homeschooling?! What a cute mom you are. I also love the quote.
Josie, that sounds like you had a lot of fun! I loved the quote about fairy tales. I know you love fairy tales, you must be very smart!
