This week, Dylan had a project for his social studies class. He had to make some sort of topographic map of Virginia showing the different regions (Blue Ridge, Valley and Ridge, Appalachian Plateau, Coastal Plains, Piedmont). Bonus points would be given to kids who also labeled the capitol, Richmond, or three rivers they talked about in class, the James, Potomac, and Rappahannock.
Dylan made his from cake, cupcakes, and candies. He went WAY above and beyond, labeling all of the necessary points of interest and much more. (Cities from the colonial days, the Fall Line where the rivers turn to waterfalls, etc...) His teacher told him it was "really cool," and Dylan said he got all the possible points!
Unfortunately, it was made of cake and cupcakes and candies... and I forgot to take a picture of it before he took it to school. The kids in his class gobbled it up, which is exactly how Dylan wanted it, but I do wish I had taken even ONE snapshot to remember it by. Stink!
Also, both boys had totally awesome interim reports. They are realy making me proud, as both are doing well in school academically and socially. Daniel has been setting a good example for classmates and Dylan was voted by his classmates as the good citizen and got a McDonald's gift certificate as a prize.
And to top off this blog post, I can tell you both boys played some crazy-good football last night. Dylan forced three fumbles, one of which was behind the line of scrimmage and he recovered it! Very cool! At Daniel's game, my boy pulled four flags and also made an interception which he ran for a touchdown!! Unbelievable. His teammates piled on him as he trotted back to the line of scrimmage. They were all smacking his back and smiling ear to ear. Daniel was feeling real good... and walking like he was hot stuff. It completely cracked me up and made me proud all at once.
