there are a few things that i remember in school that i made and loved!
one of those things was doing a shoebox book report.
my oldest daughter has a love for books and even though she is entering into the 3rd grade after the summer she reads at a 6th grade level.
she is my little twin and generally enjoys the same things i do so i gave her a summer project.
i told her that if she reads joody moody and the not so bummer summer in two weeks then i would take her opening night to see it.
well, she finished it the next day so i threw in a book report as well :)
i was completely amazed at how great she did!!!
i taught her how to make a rough draft and final copy...and then gave her creative freedom to decorate a box showcasing the main events in the book.
she presented the book report to us in time to see the movie and we felt as if we had read it too because of her amazing report!
challenge your kids to amaze you...

(by the way, she highly recommends the book :)
