The Sword in the Tree

In 3rd grade at CCS, the kids have to do a Book Report Float. They read a book and then have to design a rolling float that depicts a scene from the book. Elijah, who is very creative, had a plan and new exactly what he wanted to do. One night after he had gone to bed, he came upstairs to Jon and I and said he had finished his book and knew what he wanted to do for his float. I told him to draw a picture of it and we would start working on it soon. Ten minutes later he came upstairs with this blueprint.Elijah read "The Sword in the Tree".
So he paper mached a huge tree and then glued a knight hiding his sword in the tree. Meanwhile his mean uncle and his angry friends plotted against him.
I was very proud of his float because he worked so hard on it.

Last year, Jonah used the same cart to do his float. He did a great job too so I thought I would show off his too. He read "The Search for Sunken Treasure". He drew the characters from the book and put a ship above water and the treasure below.
What smart boys I have!!!!!
