Shayna's "Schoolwork" for Monday

Shayna has been participating in a coop that was doing an intense study on the American Revolution and the foundation of the Government.

The coop leader has arranged for our children to participate in a "living wax musuem" in just a few weeks. The children had to choose one person who was a key figure in these events and "become that person doing a presentation" and needed to complete a "project board" to share information about the person and his life.

My daughter chose Nathan Hale. She loved that he was a schoolteacher turned spy. She loved that not many people knew about him since he was caught and hung at 21.

We have done a lot of reserach and reading on Nathan Hale, she had completed her "speech for the living wax museum", but Shayna had not begun working on her "project board". She was elated was I asked her to take Monday Morning to work on this.

(honestly, I was elated also, so I could catch up with laundry and cleaning)

Shayna worked hard finalizing her thoughts and making "sloppy copy" sketches of what she wanted to displayed. She called me down to help her finalize her work with printing out some stuff from the internet. Finally, it was my job to glue (using 3M spray) her final work onto the project board (she hates to use the sticky glue).

And walla ! You see her final project put together in the picture above ! What fun she had ! Until this moment, she thinks she had all day yesterday off. She is convinced she did no work ! She is so excited about the Revolutionary Coop Living Wax musuem and now she is ready for it !
