One of Evan's homework assignments yesterday was to invent a new compound word and then come up with a convincing argument of why it should be included in the dictionary. His word was shindell (shin + dell). The definition of shindell is the little bits of food that are left in your teeth after you eat. For example, "You may want to look in the mirror when you go to the bathroom because you have shindell."
I printed out some pictures of teeth and Evan made a poster to help convince the dictionary representative that his word really belongs in the dictionary. He ran into some problems with the glue that we have, so Chad pitched in right away and helped him complete his poster. I love it when the boys help each other out. Way to go!

"Maybe taking the cap off will help get this stuff out!"
"I love working on projects, especially when they involve glue!"
