We did accomplish one really nice project. During naps on Thursday, Nicole and I made a 7 Wonders of the Ancient World brochure. We had been reading about the wonders all week long. I showed Nicole some different brochures and let her take it from there.
She decided how she wanted it folded. She also knew she wanted a map in it and suggested tracing it out of one of our books. So, while she traced and colored the map, I worked on putting together little statements about each of the wonders.
Then we got on the computer and googled images. I let her pick out the images she wanted to use and decide how everything would be put together. She wanted each wonder to be printed with a different color ink.
I love the finished product. I can honestly say that Nicole learned a lot about the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Woohoo!!! Go Nicole! (and I learned even more than she did!)

Nicole and Hannah wrote cards to three children who are in the hospital with cancer. My aunt is involved with a neat organization called C.O.L.E.S. Foundation. They have a neat organization called Kids Unite to Fight where the foundation sends cards for children to fill out and send to another child. A note of encouragement or prayer. It's pretty cool. We even got the child's website so we could see what they were currently struggling with.

I love Nicole's brochure. I would have loved doing stuff like that as a kid! It looks so professional and she's learning how to advertise and share information like a pro!
Yeah....when I first brought up the idea on Monday, she was not excited, so I sort of ditched it. But then on Thursday, she asked when we were going to make the brochure. She really put the whole thing together. I just helped her make it happen. I was so pleased :)
