Nicholas' school project - he's in 8th grade ...







The whole class read the book "The Suitcases" and each had to build a suitcase with 10 things in it. He had a list of 20 things to choose from and you had to pick from the list. To go inside, he picked these items (most of them had to do with the characters in the book):1) Birth certificate for a character in the book2) Images of items he would pack if he was 6 yo3) His family tree4) 1936 "Times"5) Acrostic poem about Crossnore6) Mother of the Year letter 7) Poster of the book8) Research paper on Crossnore school how it is today and back in 19369) Crossword puzzle made up using 30 words from the book10) List of items that "Anne" (the main character) had her suitcase. We found this awesome alligator-skin like paper at HL and I knew it would be perfect for the suitcase. The handle Charlie had on a computer laptop box and he used rubberbands and buttons to shut it. I hope he gets an A+. Its due Monday.
