Project Update

While I wouldn't say that the 88 Days of Summer Project is a huge success,
I think it did reach the goal of helping Cat branch out of her normal activities and
try a few new things. Here is a sampling of some things she's done because of the project...


Popsicle Stick Puzzle:
Cat made the puzzle, then Suz helped Jack put it together.


Coin Critters:
(See explanation here.)


Art project with random supplies:


Finished product:


Tangrams:
(I printed out all of the shapes and the puzzles from this website... so cool.)


Decorating the hallway with art:
Yep, she loved the tangrams.


Puppets and Background for Puppet Show:


Cooking with a great kids' cookbook from the library:


Making sand clay creatures:
Used this recipe... more on that later.


Learned the names of the states in the Southeastern Region:She studied the left side one day, then filled in the right side the next day.
Didn't keep the one she wrote on, but this is what I made for the exercise.

  1. You realize, of course, this is why I'm not a stay at home mom. I would NEEEEEVER do that stuff with CJ. When I'm home, I wanna CHILL (admittedly that could be because I work full time, but still) That girl would be in front of Sprout TV (hey- it's educational! Don't judge me!) day in and day out. Now I'll do "homework" with her. But I do not have the slightest inclination towards coming up with projects and enforcing them.

    You're my hero :)

  2. I'm pretty positive I got that same cook book from the library when I was there three years ago.
