Tonight was the Extravaganza at the kid's elementary school. Each of them made a project to put on display and were very excited to show it off. All 3 kids new exactly what they wanted to do their projects on and did most all of the work themselves. It was nice that they wanted to do their projects on things they had been studying in class, this saved mom and dad from doing a lot of topical research with them since they already knew the content of their subject.
(Instead of keeping all of these 3 foot by 4 foot posters I decided to take a few pics and display them on my blog as a keepsake for them :)
Alaina chose to do her project on Water and wrote a 5 paragraph essay on the cycle of water. She thought it was so cool that we could actually be drinking the same water that a dinosaur had walked in millions of years ago due to the cycle of water. She came up with the idea to give fun word scrambles and water coloring pages as handouts.
Ky brought home this viking ship, he had made at school, about a month ago. He was excited to do his extravaganza project on Vikings because his 3rd grade class just got done with this unit. He knew all about famous vikings, their ships, the food they ate, weapons, and armor. Ky thought it was pretty cool to find out that vikings used cow horns as their drinking cups.
It wasn't mandatory for Hailey to do an extravaganza project this year but because her older brother and sister were doing one she really wanted to do one too. She chose to do her project on art. Crayola Art to be exact. We did a lot of different art projects with crayons. A few of her favorite art projects were melting old crayons together to make new rainbow crayons, making a rainbow snow globe with crayon shavings and making sun catchers by melting crayon shavings between wax paper.
Great job guys! Your projects turned out awesome! Can't wait to see what you come up with next year.
