Alexa's Homework

Alexa has a dream. Her dream (well one of them) is to have homework. All through kindergarten she waited. Nothing. Not one assignment. Her desire causes Chloe to look at her and say,"Are you crazy? I hate homework." But Alexa dreams on.

"I just want to know what if feels like to have homework," she explains. Well last week, she got her wish. A big one too. Her assigment came home. She had two weeks to make a model of her bedroom. Her class has been studying maps. Her teacher assigned each student to take a small box and recreate their bedroom. Alexa began rifling through the recycling to find materials to work with and assembled a pile. This weekend we put it all together.

She got right to work painting the wall the correct shade of blue.

She created her furniture out of egg cartons, boxes, pompoms, and fabric scraps.

It was assigned as an assisted project with parent help so I helped with the tough cutting and hot glue. She is so excited. It is finished a full five days before it is due.

And later today Chloe decided to make one too, just for fun. Alexa said, "See, Chloe, I told you homework was fun."
