Book Fair


It is time for the Book Fair. Lots of books to pick from and the best part is, they all BOGO. BOGO means you Buy One and Get One free. We got some entertaining books like Monters Inc. and Dora the Explorer. We also got a book with experiments we can do. The plan is do at one or two experiments each week over the summer.

Note: Find a book with "To-Do" activities. Do one activity a week all summer long.

WALL-E Diorama

The project was to re-create a scene from a book inside a box, and create a puppet of the main character as well.

After changing his mind six times, he finally decided on a book called, WALL-E, Smash Trash. The scene selected, WALL-E finds a fire extinguisher. If you have seen the movie, you know what happens next. WALL-E sets the fire extinguisher off and starts to float around while kicking up trash dust all over the place.

This is the scene set up in the box ...

 WALL-E's roach friend ...
 


and the main character ... WALL-E!


The best part of this project was watching my son carry it into his classroom with a big smile on his face as his classmates were telling him it looked cool.
