Wildlife Museum

E had her last day of school for the block yesterday. Her class had their culminating activity for their study of native wildlife at 3 yesterday--they made their classroom into a wildlife museum. What this means is that they wrote books about their animals of choice, and made a sculpture of said animal, and then made buttons that the visitors/parents could push to find out more about their animals (i.e. they would read their books out loud to us). E studied deer. I wish we could have brought the deer book home because it was priceless. It had a table of contents in it, an exposition of what she knows about deer ("boys are called bucks and girls are called does" etc.), a list of what deer eat, and a great diagram with labels of their various parts.

I told E it would be great if we could send a picture of her sculpture to Grandma. "Mom," answered my tech-savvy child, "why don't you put it on your blog, and then send her a note that says 'please look at my blog.' Probably Grandpa will see it first, because he's always on the computer." 

So here are the pictures on my blog.
