Madison has to do an end-of-the-year project to finish first grade. Her school is a new public school with an international focus. Each grade level studies an area of the world in addition to all of their regular curriculum, Mandarin Chinese, and general social studies. First grade studies Australia and New Zealand. To finish the year, each student has to do a project and presentation. The topic is of the student's choosing, anything on the area that was studied. When Madison brought this information home, I asked her what she wanted to learn about, and she immediately (without hesitation) said the Tasmanian Devil. With my master's in library science, she's come to the right person to help with research :) She has really, really enjoyed researching the devil, and she's really coming along with her project. She worked on it quite a bit today.
We found a very cute picture of the Tasmanian Devil, so she printed it and is cutting it out.
This room is the kids' "library." They have all of their books, art supplies, etc. in here, along with two matching desks. One desk has their computer, and the other desk has room to do artwork and homework. She LOVED researching this project...sounds way too much like me :)
Our kitchen table has become posterboard central. Stay tuned for the finished project...
