LET THE PROJECTS BEGIN!

3rd grade is a whole new challenge. You learn multiplication facts and cursive. And it must be the grade when your child starts doing projects!

Faith does two book reports each month, along with reading for a minimum of 20-30 minutes a day. She has really enjoyed her reading this month. Among the many, she has read:

Nancy Drew and the Sleepover Sleuths
Pippi Longstocking
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
Several Geronimo Stilton books
Karen's Newspaper (Little Babysitter Club)
The Secret Garden
The Rainbow Fairy books

Her first project, she created a dust jacket for one of the Rainbow Fairies books.

This is her second project for The Secret Garden.



She went to Grandma Cindy's and to Grandma Zoey's house to take beautiful pictures of their flower gardens and then arrange them as a collage. She did all of these beautiful pictures (she took 88 photos and only about 5 were blurry). Then she arranged them by herself. I even made her type in the words and push print on the printer! She is going to tell her peers that if she had a secret garden, these are some of the things that she would want there!

Way to go Faith!

It looks like she did a great job! I think 3rd and 5th grade are both hard years for the kids seems like lots of adjustments. Autumn loved Geronimo Stilton, she has a ton of his books if Faith ever wants to borrow any.

Well... isn't Faith a budding photographer. The pictures she took really are beautiful. She did a great job. I loved the projects! It seems like all of Brady's were done at school. It seems like the school got tired of the parents doing the project and so they started to do the whole thing in class. I'm proud of you for making her do it and learn something new. You are a great Mom and Faith is amazing! Keep up the good work! A+
