Kids' Weekend Projects

While we had a three day weekend, we took our advantages to finish up the three different projects. It sure kept them busy especially we have had raining cats and dogs over the weekend. It was far cry better than sticking their eyes to the T.V.
all day long.

First, both of them signed their names for their classmates. Each of them had to sign at least 20 cards. They are excited to exchange the Valentine's cards. Dylan chose over the Sponge Bob with lollipops for his classmates. As for Ryan, we used many leftover Valentine Cars cards with a wash-out temporary tattoo. They wrote their names neatly.

Dylan has his own Valentine Secret Lunch project. He had to pick out one of his classmates' Valentine's lunch. Then he had to get everything this person wants for a lunch such as having a bologna sandwich with mayonnaise and mustard, lemonade, and two other things for her lunch. (I did get everything that were on the list.) He also worked on creating a Valentine lunch bag. He made her name in handwriting out of gold glue (yes, he knows how to cursive handwriting), and frog foams. In the back of my mind, I must admit that it left me wondering why did Dylan write on his lunch wish. This will make me wanting to stop by his lunch on Friday and find out what he has for his Valentine's lunch (We have the same lunch.) That is an advantage for me.

While Dylan was working on his own projects, his brother also had a completely different project. He was to make up "100 things" for his 100 Days project. His theme was "Fishing for One Hundred Words." First, I helped making colored copies of fish, cutting out and typing 100 First Grade words that he needed to know. (He knew all.) He and his brother, Dylan pasted all of 100 fishes and 100 first grade words. Personally, I thought it was pretty cool to use something different, but at he knew how to read and what the purpose of using this project.

Having them to do variety of projects were worth to keep their hands on task for an entire weekend. That included reading books and doing homework over the weekend.
