projects

Karlee had a research paper/project due this week. She has been working on if for weeks. She chose the state of Colorado, I think because that is where she was born. She made a float,

a bean map,

a T-shirt, and an alphabet book on the state. Her teacher was very impressed with her alphabet book, which she asked to download to show other students. Karlee was tickled with that. Later that day, Karlee had to go back in the classroom to grab her binder, and her teacher was showing the class her work. Could the day really get any better? I don't think so.


Here is Karlee presenting her project in class.



Bailee also had a project due this week. This one is supposed to be a group project, which irritate me because almost always one student takes it home to finish it. This time it's Bailee. Although, she enjoyed working on it. I think she did a great job. It is a vending machine. She had a camera on top for security, a slot to purchase with a credit card, and a keypad to unlock the door instead of a padlock. Some of the students in her group didn't like some of the choices she made, but I guess that's what happens when only one works on it. Oh well. At least it's finished and they should all get a good grade. I love it Bailee!!
