Homework.

Here is a quick snapshot of the girls homework tonight- I say snapshot because I only showed you the fun stuff.... there was vocabulary, science and literature I didn't photograph!

Ellie chose Aggie as her subject for the scientific process. Not sure her explanation of measurement being answered with "because animals count too and I love them" would be considered objective data- but there you have it. Oh wait, she threw in Aggie's inches and pounds.... so scientific....

Maddy made a drawing of her "road of life" ..... I love that her friend Sam from Dahlgren got a tree to represent him. And poor Nate's head injury made her road of life too..... that got a bump in the road.
Maddy gets the pink convertible- her dream car. Mine is a Jeep of course! I won't even tell you the fighting that came after Ellie realized the dead dog in the road was representative of when she was born...... which Maddy quickly fixed by adding a tiny, tiny flower next to "Ellie is born"- can't really see the flower, I think its under the dead dog.....

Here was my unexpected happy school thing today.... a student in the carpentry class made this for my desk:

Its a traditional desk plaque you see around here. Carving is huge here. Really so thoughtful, I was touched. One of my other students said I looked "official now" since all the senators on island have one of these on their desks.

Definitely something that I will keep from my Guam days :)
