There is actually a lot more to this notebook now, as Superboy adds to it here and there. In fact just today he made a page with a world map and labeled it with the location each species of dragon “can be found.”

Note: Some people may wonder why study dragons? Since they are make-believe, isn’t it just a waste of time?
I say that the skills Superboy gained by studying dragons will be applicable to any other topic we choose to study. He learned how to write a paragraph of each of the following: descriptive, comparason-contrast, expository. He learned how to work MSExcell, he did art, he learned some geography, some science, and some history. He went star-gazing and he dissected a chicken egg. And all the while loving every minute! What more could I ask for in a school topic?
