As we learned last year, this is not something the Pre-K class takes lightly. There are snacks, activities, and presentations from each of the kids. The entire class was tasked with creating a project that has one-hundred of something. All of the other classrooms toured the 100-Day-Museum created by the pre-K class. And just like last year - Miles dressed up. He loves finding reasons to wear fancy pants and ties to school. If you look good, you feel good, right?! Such a doll!
Last year, Nate lead the creative process by thinking up the "flip book." I took rapid photos of Miles dancing in front of a white door. We printed the pics out and Nate bound them together. It was kind of like a movie, but in book form. Miles numbered the back side of each photo from 1 to 100. He loved it. His class loved it!
This year, Nate passed the project off to me. I'm not nearly as creative and l had a lot to live up to. The bar was set so high. I decided to go a little more academic. I asked Miles to make up a story. We limited it to exactly 100 words. I transcribed the words onto several pages of cardstock and passed them off to Miles for full color illustrations. He's not only an author, but an illustrator as well!
Here he is, posing right by his book - Super Secret Hero!
At one point during the day, Miles was given 100 cups to play with. Guess what the son of an architect decided to build - all by himself? Miles named it after his favorite skyscraper, the Hancock Tower. He asked his teachers to leave the tower up all day. He really wanted to show us his creation. I'm not going to lie - I was (and still am) impressed!
Such a proud mom moment.
BUT, boy am I tired after all of that creativity. Definitely not my thing.
I saw this coffee mug on my instagram feed today and fell in love.
Is the completion of this project gift worthy?
