Homework

Of the PreK variety.

A little snippity, snip, snip...

a lot of bits and scraps,

eventually leads to this:

Followed by some of this...

Overheard along the way, "No, I'm supposed to fold a cone Mom, it HAS to be a CONE! " Followed by a dramatic sigh and, "I guess I'll just have to ask Mrs. W. to show you how to fold it." Finally an exclamation of, "LOOK! I did it! I was frustrated but then I tried again and I DID IT!" and "I can't WAIT to show Mrs. W!"

Fingers crossed that all future homework is this much fun.

I remember getting so very frustrated trying to cut snowflakes when I was little and then so fascinated and proud when I unfolded them. A joke that we've had for nearly 40 years in my family stems from a recording my mom did of my brother when he was in 1st grade (he's 44 now). It was the "old fashioned" tape recorder with the microphone you plugged in and she was interviewing my brother and she asked him what he wanted to say and he said, "I made a snowflake today. It was the greatest day of my life."
