Hannah's Diorama

Hannah's class has been studying the American colonies for awhile, and as a "grand finale" to the unit, each person in the class had to create a shoebox diorama representing part of a colony. They will put them all together to make a big colonial "town" for our Open House Tuesday night. I'm excited to see how it looks.

So Hannah decided she wanted to make a colonial church. I thought that was an awesome idea. We spent several hours this weekend doing the project together. We used two shoeboxes to give it more height. We also used a good amount of paint, glue, and jumbo popsicle sticks. We finished it this morning (after Hannah served me breakfast in bed ). We had so much fun making the church, and Hannah's quite proud of how it turned out.

I'm glad we got to do something creative together on Mother's Day weekend.

Next I will blog about Hannah's haircut AND the shirt she's wearing in these pictures.

Great diorama! My mom and I worked hard on mine when I was in school. We still laugh about the one I (we) did of Lincoln's assasination. I'll never forget the gun pointed at Lincoln...made of a pipe cleaner!
