Locked Door

The other day we thought we were having a repeat of Ava all over again. :)  We were hanging out at home and the older two were at school.  All of a sudden we heard this little knocking noise coming from Ava's room.  Here, Kaydence had accidentally locked herself in Ava's room.  This was exactly the age Ava had done it a few years back.  We were trying to talk to her from this side of the door, explaining to our not yet two year old foster daughter, how she was to get the door unlocked.  She couldn't understand (of course) so she was trying and we were working on this side getting the door knob off.  As we are working, we hear her stop whimpering and pause.  Then we hear the door knob wiggle and then we hear, "oh man" in this stinking tiny voice sounding so frustrated.  ahahha.  She is a funny goose.  Love that girl.  We did get her out and she was very happy to see us. :)  We told her not to do it again but she has an obsession with closing doors so we will see if she remember to not LOCK them now.  :)

Ava's 2nd Grade Project on Landforms

 

Ava had a project on landforms and her project topic was Valleys.  She had to fill out a research paper by doing her own research on line and in Library books.  Then she had to show some kind of landform model.  So we made this project with U-shaped and V-shaped valleys and then she painted it.  I thought she did a pretty good job.  She was nervous to give her presentation but she did it anyway!

Her cue cards she used as she gave her little presentation before her class was as follows:

Card #1 - My project is on a valley
Card  #2 - A valley is a low area of land between mountains
Card #3 -  Valleys can be formed by water or snow erosion
Card #4  - The bottom of a valley is called the floor
Card #5  - The valley soil is good farmland, rich in vitamins

The research paper was just answering many questions like what is the definition of your landform and so on and so fourth. I thought she did a great job.  She got what would be equivalent to an A in class for her project. :)  I guess the tough projects have started!
