Another One Bites the Dust.

This week saw the completion of another big third grade project .... the Saint Report. She did a great job finding her information and typed her report all by herself. She picked all of her own props, decided herself to appropriate the Laura Ingalls Wilder outfit she received for Christmas. She practiced her presentation and assembled it all to take to school. I'm so proud of her!!

May I present to you .... Faith as St. Elizabeth Ann Seton!

Third Grade Projects

So far third grade has been the year of school projects.


We have the "Sense of Wonder" project.


And the "Planet Project."


Plus the "Traditions" project.

Faith is such a procrastinator combined with perfectionism that we usually end up about ready to kill each other by the time we are done. Daddy got to do the space project - that's his thing - and they had an even harder time working together than she and I did. And I keep hearing that she's just like me and that's why we have a hard time????

Third Grade

Faith is having fun so far this year in 3rd grade - and boy does it feel strange to know that my baby is that big! She loves her teacher, likes almost all the kids in her class (most of the time!), and is even not too cranky about having homework.

She came home this week twice with math homework concepts that some of my fifth graders are having challenges with. Not my girl. I asked if she wanted me to check it over, and she said "Ok, but Mom, I know they're all right." And they were! I'm hoping it's because she's such a great mathematician not that her teacher is a better math instructor than I am!!

Her latest project is a "Sense of Wonder" where she needs to choose a wonder that God created, learn about it, and create a project. They are only supposed to be brainstorming right now...which is a great thing because the current brainstorm involves an expanding rainbow, a pulley system, multiple clouds, and lots of glitter - heaven help me!
