Young Minds

Sometimes I am amazed at what the kids come up with and sometimes I wonder where it comes from.  Here are a few recent projects...

When Jordan went back to school after the break his teacher did a little unit on goals, this is what I found in Jordan's papers, a few things to notice....he wishes to try bacon covered donuts, and a strange talent to pick up reads "dangling a loogie"!

On the front of the paper he talked about somethings from the previous year...the one to notice (especially to the family members that were in Arizona at the time of this event) "Never give a wet willie to a sleeping bear a.k.e my dad."  Obviously he has a bad experience with this in AZ!

Brady just finished an Egyptian unit and got to pick from a list of projects.  He chose to make the cartouche  and carved a symbol out of soap.  He decided to copy the style from my bookmarks from Egypt so we got paper that looked like papyrus and he painted them.  His teacher was very impressed because none of the other kids had a design around the oval and there was not a lot of color.  He wanted to know where Brady got the idea.  You can tell the size compared the nail clippers in the side of the picture and the soap was a normal bar of soap.

I painted this frame with chalkboard paint while I was making chalkboard necklaces for Christmas.  It is just one of those cheap 8x10 plastic frames.  Eden loves to color on it with chalk and this is what I found the other day!
