K has to bring a family journal to school next week. Even though it’s very easy for me to create a nice journal with scrapblog or smilebox, I decided that since he’s in K1 this year, he has to do his homework on his own. So I printed some photos for him, bought construction paper/glue/tape and provided him instructions to …
… cut the photos, cut the cute animal printouts, cut the construction paper, paste the photos/printouts, and write the title page for his book (he copied off what I wrote for him on another piece of paper).
It took him one hour yesterday and one hour today to complete these!
After he went to bed just now, I stapled everything together and tadaa, we have completed the book! The writing is a bit messy, pictures are not cut perfectly, glue is not spread evenly, and pages are jagged. But then again he’s a 5 year old, so this is already a very nice piece of work. And I’m guessing that he’ll be so proud of his work when he sharres it in class next week because he’s invested so much effort in it! He did tell me (a few times) that he liked doing this piece of homework.
K good job. I am proud of you.
Thanks gong gong!
