Palmer's School Report on England

 Each child in Palmer's class was assigned to give a report on a place.  I was thrilled when Palmer chose England (this is a little redundant from this post).  Josh and I visited England in 2010 and fell in love with it.  I loved spending time with Palmer showing him my pictures and answering his questions.  We checked out books from the library and even bought some that had some fun ideas for a possible "England party" (see this post).  Palmer read all of the books and got so excited trying to decide what he was going to talk about for his report.  He had sheets and sheets of notes complete with a long list of the things that people in England say vs. things that people in the U.S. say.  He thought the whole things was so great (as a mom I LOVE that!)

 He practiced his report over and over for anyone who would listen and I have to tell you, by the time he gave it, Josh and I couldn't have been prouder.  These are definitely the moments I love as a parent.  I love that Palmer is curious about different people and cultures.  I also loved his teacher even more than I already do for assigning such a project (we just got one for Lincoln's class too, and I can't wait to start it with him...actually, he already started this morning...)

 Stonehenge was definitely his favorite part of the whole thing.  He thought it was pretty cool.

 The assignment was to make a poster with 4 pictures on it...Palmer made this poster all by himself.  I even let him borrow my Cricket and he went to town.  His favorite part of all of his information was describing the type of guns the royal guards carry.

 We bought some real English biscuits (cookies) coated in chocolate for the class to try. 

 Josh was good to keep McKay entertained.  McKay has a serious fascination with water.  He love drinking fountains :)

Josh and I even had a chance to answer some of the kids questions about England and our experience there.  I couldn't have been prouder of Palmer and all the work and effort he put into this assignment.  He is quite the kid.
