just a little bit due to the fact that my kids have been monsters and we needed to seriously discuss the burping thing.  For some reason  they think it is cool to burp the alphabet. Okay, I will admit I did not exactly nip that in the bud  like I should have when it first started. So now I am dealing with it bigtime <-That is probably what I looked like at one point as they smiled at me, laughed and said but it is fun.

So the fine points of today's manner/etiquette lesson were the appropriate way to burp and the definition of the word rude. Hopefully they got the point, lol.

We did finish math today - YAY! So now they totally get the concept of multiplication and multiplying by 0 & 1. Now we will practice that for a few days along with their speed drills and then move on to 2 & 5.

Kind of funny, but the only reason is because I was just dealing with same thing.
Did your kiddos watch the trailers or movie for Over The Hedge? My kids haven't seen the movie but saw a preview for it and the squirral burps the Alphabet.
It took me awhile to figure it out though.
It is amazing how fast they pick things up be it from friends or shows or movies or even us... I hope you got the whole thing resolved and that the ABC burping will stop for you, if not I am sure they will get bored with it shortly, we can only hope. Boys are funny little men.

Hi, I won't tell my kids the thing about burping the alphabet because I know they'd catch on really fast! Kids are certainly very creative!
I like your "Olive Grove" academy. Perhaps I should call ours the Apple Leaf School.
Take care.
