Grrraaaarrrrr!

Remember in Preschool, how Declan had to make a diorama of his favorite animal starting with the first letter of their name (in his case, dingo)? Well, it's baaaaack!

I am still amazed at the level of homework required of a Kindergartner, but at the same time - he is having a blast with it, so I can't complain. This time, he had to choose his favorite type of bear and put the bear in it's natural habitat. Which apparently is a cardboard box covered with glitter sticks.

He chose the Black Bear.



And don't worry, that brown thing on the ground is a log. Not a poop the size of Manhattan.

i appreciate you pointing out that the log is in fact a log and not...the other kind of "log." ;)

The glitter sticks are a nice touch! And I think the log looks like a log. I like the end of it. Very good!

Ok, kindergarten has changed a LOT since I went. We were not nearly this technical! We drew with crayons, ate paste and sang songs, took a nap, had a snack and went back home.

Oy. I must be old.

I barely remember kindergarten...Although I do remember a puppet stage that I played with every day. A diorama? I wish I had homework that fun...

That is so cute.

Somehow, in all these years, I have managed to dodge the diorama bullet . . . so far!

Did you not know that the brown bear's natural habitat at birth is a shoebox? Only when his head grows to match his body can he go to the outside world. I love kid's interpretations of animals!

Mary Beth - BLACK BEAR! Big difference! ;)

Carrie - dioramas are actually fun!

It is a pretty big bear. He could have done it.

Yeah, I was wondering about that 'log.'

My children think a bear's natural habitat is the dumpster behind the grocery store.
