lately.

our little 1st graders had to make a Diorama

they are learning to research

they checked out a book at the library about an animal of their choosing

learned some cool facts about said animal

and tried to recreate their environment in a little Diorama

I covered old shoe boxes in white paper for them

 bought some moss from hobby lobby and hot glued it down

adam made cooper's way cool clay IGUANA

cause, a plastic iguana is hard to find

little corbin chose a COBRA snake

and luckily we found one that worked at dollar tree

they gathered some weeds, flowers, rocks from outside and added them

we typed up 5 or 6 facts about each animal and taped it on the box

done

i admit i probably did too much of this for them

i'm learning

hello big kid

these boys have grown SO MUCH this year
