Immigration

Signe's diorama was due today over a topic from the literature or history they studied in 4th grade this past year. Signe loves doing crafty projects like this, including using fancy calligraphy-type writing that Daddy taught her. She wrote two paragraphs glued to the side of the box about immigration history. It was tough to find a good boat for the ocean passage so she had to make do (I'm sure some people arrived on Ellis Island on a sailboat, right? Right?).
Gunnar's diorama is due next Wednesday, and little Mr. Responsible (which I love about him) has been bugging me every night to help him get started on it. With the remodeling chaos at the house I am behind on everything, so I've been a bad mommy and kept putting him off. We finally ran to Michael's last night to purchase some more figurines to represent the Nez Perce War. That appeased him a bit.
All this is in anticipation of Grandparent's Day at Logos next Friday. The kids are super excited to see all of them!
