4th Grade Talent Show

A creation for Neli's class talent show. He had classmates share with him random themes. His idea was to make a mashup of three random themes, but ended up writing a script with all of them in it minus one. The one he didn't include was included in his presentation of the talent show. Here are the themes, can you note them all while watching?

• Soccer
• Swimming 
• Basketball
• Gymnastics
• Magic
• Getting lost 
• Pencils 
• Nature
• Beach  
• Party 
• Giant fire breathing chickens destroy the world
• Ocean 
• Clipboard monsters  
• Art
• Playground 
• Starwars

Bloopers and the Making Of

Backwards just for fun, and because we think the StarWars theme Neli plays at the end of this backwards version sounds a bit like the Indiana Jones theme song.

Stop Motion by Neli

Two months ago we went to an event at our Art and History Museum. Neli learned to make stop motion video and we took the idea home. See Neli's creations:

Many photos and a video of Neli's first lost tooth. 

Capoeria Batizado

Batizado - graduation from Neli's first year of Capoeria class. Neli was nervous about going, but when he "played" with the master teacher he did great showing off his kicks and ducks. He received his name of Ohlo d' Agua which means Eyes of Water.

Our Train Table

I call it Neli's train, but I must say I play with it much more. Neli made the mountain/tunnel with Nadine. Neli and I created the decorations with beach gravel and painting.

Neli Cleaning Up

Neli sometimes, very rarely, asks to do all the pre-bed time clean up all by himself. He is a very expedient little guy when he wants to be.

Trip to the Sierras with Isak and Marcus

Couldn't have asked for more - we show up at the river and Fish and Game are just driving away after stocking the river with fish. Made for easy fishing.
