This project was really fun, and the fun was only somewhat diminished by the fact that we totally forgot about the project (despite Outlook reminders for both "parents") until Christopher remembered on Monday morning , about 7 minutes before it was due. We had to apologize to the teacher and promise to turn it in the next day. In the end, she said it was no big deal and that the due date was just approximate, but at the time Christopher seemed disappointed that he'd be turning it in late.
As evidence, this statement: "I guess I'll just have to turn it in late. When I get to school there will probably be 18 little bugs there. But not mine."
Fantastic. I'm new at this, but I'm guessing it's not good when the parents are the cause of their child's work being turned in late. He should be allowed that honor himself.
It all worked out in the end, and Christopher constructed quite a lovely queen ant. Hooray for happy endings!
This proud parenting moment was brought to you courtesy of running/biking, parties, errands and early-onset Alzheimer's.
this is off topic, but CL has the most perfect eyebrows.
What is up with approximate due dates? What does that teach kids. I already have enough trouble with college new hires...I actually sat in a mgmt meeting where they told me to write them a thank you note if they show up to work on time. Guess what is never going to happen? And I don't use the word never very often.
