You Are Not Going To Believe It...

Remember Ellis's little license plate project that he started last year?  The one where he wanted to collect license plates from all 50 states and the District of Columbia?

Cassie has had the plates for a little while and she has been giving them to hi as he earns then.  Ellis and Alaire are homeschooled and they belong to a Homeschool group.  I really don't understand it all but I know there is this award called a Memory Master.  Ellis has to be able to recite everything that he has learned...just a sampling of that is...

The preamble to the US Constitution

The Bill of Rights

The states and capitals of North America

geological features

the Presidents

22 history sentences

161 consecutive timeline

multiplication tables up to 15

squares, cubes, conversions, math laws

Latin

John 1:1-7 in English

In English Latin rules, 24 science facts

There he is the Memory Master (his second time) with all 50 plates!  Plus DC

He told Cassie that since he already had plates from Aruba and Ontario, Canada he thought he should try to collect them from all the countries.

Thank you to everyone that helped search down the plates.  It was a really community effort.  And to those new friends that we have never met  and extra thank you to you.  Ellis kept asking if we knew the people that were sending the plates.  Sometimes we said we knew them and then other times we had to tell him we didn't.  He was amazed that someone that didn't know any of us would send a plate.

If you don't see the one on the wall that you sent it is because they put the first one up that they got.  But don't worry the duplicates will be put to use in a little project I have in mind.  That is if I can bribe Ellis to share them with me.

One proud Wammy here!
