Projects here, projects there, projects everywhere

I swear, Taz and Cynjyn have had so many projects due this past month. Taz had 4 due within a two week period. We are tired of projects around here! One night after mutual, Taz stayed up frying wontons to take into a class because he had to bring a food from his background. 
He had to do a Spanish poster describing three people (him Tanner and Cynjyn).
He had to do a health poster...that's him which you can't see very well because of the glare.
He had to do an research an invention.  Plus, he had a suitcase project where he had to fill a suitcase with stuff from China and talk about that country his ancestors originated from. 
Cynjyn's class was doing a Native American unit and for xtra credit, they could make a pair of pants by hand.  We decided to have her do one.
She used yarn and a huge quilting needle since they'd just read Sign of the Beaver and the main character used a bone and twine to sew his pants.
They turned out pretty good and she did it in one night and was the only one in here class to make a pair.
She could also make Johnny Cake and bring it in.  Again, the only one to do that was her.
She signed up to do a primary talent show and was going to sing "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause".  She wanted to be a little girl (like giggle girl from Thriller) and so she decided to make herself some bloomers and a little girl dress.
We got the tutorial off Youtube for the bloomers.
And we took a size 8 dress and improvised a little to make it fit her for the little girl dress.  She chose an Eeyore pattern since she was going to sing with her stuffed Eeyore.
I think it turned out adorable and she did great at the talent show.
Her class was trying to collect 100 cans or boxed food to feed the hungry, so she scrounged up a dozen or so items to donate.
Crazy hat day found her with not one, two or three, but FIVE hats she wore.
And lastly, she had to do an indian shelter project and chose the pueblo.  We whipped it up in one night and it turned out great!
Whew, I think that covers it all.  If I never see another project sheet it will be too soon:)

I think their teachers assign those food projects because they know YOUR kids will bring in such yummy stuff. Great job on them all!

IT'S THE BIG MOVE IN ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT!! BUT, OF COURSE, THE GOONS ARE CHAMPIONS WHEN IT COMES TO PROJECTS. GOOD JOB! CYNJYN AND HER SEWING ARE AMAZING! IT MUST BE A TALENT SHE INHERITED FROM HER DAD! I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE HER PERFORMANCE!

All the projects turned out great! I was wondering how Cynjyn got the bloomers and all that! That's awesome that she sewed all that!
