Lentil
The book we are reading this week for school is Lentil! It's a great book about a small town boy who can't sing or whistle. He saves up his money and buys a harmonica. He practices and practices til he can play. I decided that learning to play a song on the harmonica could be one of our fun projects to do, well let's just say that so far it has not been that fun! After working for about an hour she has decided it's too hard, but I've been trying to encourage her to keep working on it. This was how we started our school this morning, so after reading the story I pointed out that Lentil practiced whenever and wherever he could. I'm not sure if it will help or not, but I hope when we are done with our book she will be able to play a song. I should mention that the song she's trying to learn is Popeye the Sailor Man! Her choice, not mine!

We have that book! Do you do the 5 in a row? I don't anymore, but that happens to be how I aquired so many great children's books. My boys both tried the harmonica for awhile after we first read it too.
