Discovering an animal

Izaak has to do a project for school - an animal discovery poster. Wow things have changed since I was at school - he is in year one and when the note came home it included a marking criteria and also states that they are expected to do a reference list! Waaayyyyy back when I was in year one I was happy colouring in and learning to read. It does make me worry - when do kids just get to be kids? Anyway, I digress. Of course my child decides to do his on rabbits. I helped with finding the pictures and some of the spelling but otherwise it is all his own work....

I'm proud of him for finishing this project - it really was a hard task for him to complete so I'm hoping his teacher will appreciate it. Looking at projects of other kids it's VERY clear which ones are students work and which ones are parents work. One girl hadn't put her name label on her poster and was trying to - her mum came along - "let me do it so that it's straight". There is nothing straight about Izaaks poster but like I said, I'm proud of him because it's all his own work. When I think about how far we've come this year I am just so proud of him and the work that he's managed to get through. I think he was pretty chuffed with it too...
