Jack's first book report

Jack has to turn in hs first ever book report this week. Since it will be my first week alone with the kids during the day, I wanted to finish the report this weekend. In the directions it mentions several times how important it is for the children to complete the project independently with as little help as possible from the parents. You had three different choices of projects and you could pick your own book. The goal of the project is to teach the kids about settings of stories. Jack wanted to do a diorama on the setting of The Cat in the Hat Comes Back. My Mom and I both tried to steer him in different directions, but he really had his heart set on that book. So we sat down to put the project together today and I was so amazed at how well he did. He wanted to use cotton balls for the snow and then he drew the characters. He came up with the idea to use q-tips to prop the characters in the snow. As you can tell from the picture, he is very proud of his work!
