Science Project - Medicinal Plants

Grade 5 Science project: They were asked to make a scrapbook on medicinal plants.

And this was how Miggy did it (with my guidance, of course). I (mother) even included the first two collages at the back part of the book just so teacher will know he was really the one who made it.

During the process, I kept on reminding him: "It's alright to make mistakes. It's art. There are no mistakes in art. You can cut it any shape you want" and "You can paste it anywhere you want."

I modeled the first page, laid out the cut shapes and pictures, then asked him, "Can you do this, Miggy?" to which he replied, "Yes!"

And from there, he was able to design the other pages without my directions.
For the book, we used an old 2013 calendar.

Golf Cart

We took advantage of this golf cart we saw this morning parked in our garage. 
Miguel, come here. Ride this and I'll take your picture. 
"No! I don't want to be late for school."
Okay, I will not buy you the Planes, Fire and Rescue dvd.
