School Projects! (This is a definite Grandma post.)

The other day Alexa and Olivia both had projects due on the same day. It made for a busy afternoon for all. I had to run to the store because, of course, Livie didn't tell me that she needed a poster board. Not to mention it was family night. Then she had to cut out pictures of food for the board. Luckily we have a few cooking magazines (thanks Maren!) I figured I better blog this since so many of you were involved with it. Livie had to find out what foods people would want to eat at a fall festival (carnival.) Here's the final project.

Alexa had been studying Greece and she did her project on the coliseum. She decided to make it out of clay. The only thing I had to do was find the clay in the closet and cut some off for her. Then she obviously had to do some research and junk. This picture doesn't do it justice. The inside had seating and everything. She did a pretty good job and worked hard on it. I love that she is so confident and just figures out what she wants to do and does it without complaining or questioning if it's going to be good or not. Or if it's good enough. (I have so much to learn from her.)
Since I had to run to the store for supplies and the other girls were busy I pretty much put Maya in charge of playing with McKenna. When I got back they had made there own project. They recycled our recycling (beat that Al Gore.) They pulled out all the things they could find from our recycling bin and made this great train. Complete with stickers and art work.
