Boston had to make a box car somehow for school. They took their 'cars' around to different stations within the school to learn about patriotic things from the Bald Eagle, Flag, Mt. Rushmore, Statute of Liberty, Lincoln Memorial, etc. Boston wanted a taxi cab car - so this is our finished project. The students also had a state picked out for them and Boston's state was West Virginia. We learned that West Virginia was the first state with no sales tax, the state where the Golden Delicious apple originated, the longest suspension bridge in the world and second tallest in the US, 75% is covered with forest, Mountain State, 15% of Nation's coal comes from there.
I left this project til the end (a little procrastination). We had a week to do it. I had to work Monday and then came home and did the dinner and bedtime routine. Then it was off to make the car ... I was outside on the lawn at midnight with a spray paint can in hand and a headlamp....why oh why did I procrastinate. Boston didn't even get to finish helping with the project but was happy in the morning to see his TAXI. |
