DS9 and DS6 were telling me about a game each of them made up that involves stealing electrons and bonding. But DS6 didn't know how many electrons he could put in the outer shell of his element he's creating so we read about electron shells. The boys are now happily looking up elements on the periodic table and drawing the electron shells! Ha Ha Ha I just love how enthusiastic they are about learning when it's something they are interested in! They are focused and having fun. Dazey
