School Project

We have been very busy the last couple of weeks working on Benny's first big school project.  He had to study the Plains Indians and then make a replica of their village.

He got really into it and worked very hard on his project.  He made these teepees and drew the designs on them.  He designed the size and layout of his village.  He planned the pond and he glued down the sand.  He glued down the paper for ground cover and then placed all his little indian people where he wanted them.

I helped by buying the supplies, helping him gather and study material on the indians, and fielding the hot glue gun.  I also sculpted a couple of lumpy horses for him.

He finished off by writing a short essay on the Plains Indians, what they used for housing, and why.

Tomorrow I pack him and his project up in the car and drive him to school.  He can hardly wait to show his classmates!

Good job, Benny!
