School Projects

 I feel like we have been hit with a lot of school projects lately. I don't mind if they are fun. This one was a clever idea. Each student in Zack's class was assigned a body part, then given a pink slip, saying they would be fired from the body if they couldn't prove their value. Zack had to make a poster and give a presentation to the class and the vice principal. This is the poster he made in class. In the end, the esophagus and stomach were let go.  

 Zack is on the school student council and had to make a bunch of motivational posters for the CRTs. He worked on them during and after school but still needed to make some at home. We had a fun morning finishing them up because he also had a book project due that week. See that bear on the green paper? He drew that free hand with a permanent marker in like five minutes. I wish I could do that. 

 All these school projects aren't without drama. Zack had to create a game for the book on Malcom X. He worked diligently on it all afternoon but decided that it was "terrible" before he went to bed.  He set his alarm for 5:00 am so he could do a different project. Matt helped him make a spinning wheel and I was up at 6:30 helping him finish the darned thing. We were scrambling and working on it in the car on the way to school but he got it finished.  He has sworn to never to this again. 

 Zack definitely has the most school projects. This is Ben's 3-D Animal Cell model. He didn't even procrastinate it, and got 100%!
