While I was in the throws of sickness last week, Little Man's 1st grade teacher sent home a diorama assignment. Of course she wanted all first graders (and their parents) to have the assignment completed over a couple of week nights. Right. I know what a diorama is; I just loathed them in elementary school.
My first thought in reading this was "She is absolutely insane!" and after researching the subject ~ just to make sure ~ I declared the teacher certifiably nuts. In my panic induced snotty nose blowing state I did what any good bloggy Mom would do ~ contact another teacher as fast as my fingers would type.
Just who did I contact you ask? The best 5th grade teacher ever ~ John Deere Mom! Not only did John Deere Mom calm my nerves she gave me a wonderful website to aide in the process. Did I tell you how awesome John Deere Mom is yet?! Go visit her blog.
That evening my Little Man came home with a note from the teacher. Seems quite a few parents called her 'discussing' how they would like to have the weekend to finish the assignment due to work restraints. While I did not stir the waters in the classroom I was glad others didn't have a problem doing so ~ Whew!
Friday night Little Man we spent quality time working on his Wetland Diorama. Saturday we took a family field trip to the museum to take a look at hundred's of professional dioramas. We came home thrilled to put the finishing touches on the diorama. Behold ~ below I give you Little Man and is Wetland Diorama! He's on the way out the door to take it to school ... with a big ole grin of course!
