Why is it that teachers wait until the last 4 weeks of school to assign the biggest projects of the year??? When we are already getting so burned out of from school, Katelyn received this huge State Report assignment. She chose Hawaii, so atleast that part was fun. This is what was all part of the report...
1. Cover Page
2. Written Report Rough Draft (Katelyn's was 26 pages long because she writes so big)
3. Written Report Final Draft (narrowed to 17 pages long)
4. Provided Outline completely filled out
5. Re-written Outline
6. USA Map colored in where the state is, etc.
7. Draw a pic of the state flag
8. Draw State Bird, State Flower, State Tree
9. Bibliography
10. State Parade float (see pictures below)
11. American States Food Fair (to be done at lunch next week). Katelyn is going to bring in sliced pineapple, pineapple juice and little umbrellas that you put in your cup.
WHEW!!!!
The state report took weeks to complete (in addition to their nightly homework.) This state report also took a few days and a few long nights. We even borrowed sand from our neighbor's sandbox to glue down as the beach and she created a volcano out of playdoh. Yet I will say that I am grateful that I love scrapbooking because everything here was taken from my scrap stash of supplies that I already had on hand. It was alot of fun to see her do this project, but I was so happy to see it leave my house this morning to be turned in to the teacher.
