Some School Projects

Grace had to do a book report and create a "people poster" for school.
She chose to do it on Albert Einstein.
She enjoyed learning about him and we had a good time creating the poster.
(I think she had a better time wearing it and presenting her book report!)

Isaac had to choose a person to report on for Black History Month. His teacher sent home a list of suggestions and Isaac chose John Lee Love. He was an inventor. He invented the improved pencil sharpener and the improved plasterer's hawk. Isaac had to dress up like him and do a first person presentation about him. There was not a lot of information out there about him, but Isaac did a great job with his his report and presentation.


Anna had to choose someone famous for her 2nd grade wax museum project. She had to report on the person and then dress up like them. She chose Helen Keller. She did a great job and we had a good time researching and learning her. She was a pretty amazing person.
I got to go to Anna's class to see the wax museum. It was pretty cute. Each kid stood by their desk and had their person's name and then a button to push. You pushed the button and the kids would tell you about their person (in first person.)


Here is Anna with two of her cute friends
Sa-Vonne (Rosa Parks) and Sydney (Elvis Presley)
