Kinkajous

Shelby's class has been studying animals.  As an enrichment activity, she was assigned an at-home project to research kinkajous, write a report, and make a visual.  We focused on the report first.  We looked at a few websites, Shelby took notes, and then she compiled her report.  

Now it was time to do the visual.  Months ago I discovered this interesting website called LooLeDo.  We haven't been able to make any of the projects yet, and the girls have been dying to make one, so I knew Shelby would love to looledo her kinkajou.

Our supplies: 2 liter Coke, small Ozarka bottle, masking tape, spoons, Kleenexes, aluminum foil, buttons, cardboard, and permanent markers.

We had a good time working together.  Shelby loved every minute of making it.

After we assembled everything, the last step was to color it.  We used a permanent marker that is probably dead now, but I really like how it turned out.

She was a little nervous about taking it to school because kids would be looking at her and wondering what she was carrying.  I told her it was fine.  They would just know it was a school project.  She made an awesome grade on the project, and I was glad to be able to do it with her.  Good job, Shelby!
