It’s always heartwarming for me when Ezra, our reluctant student, is doing something at school that he’s excited about. He had such a project this week — building a model of a raccoon habitat. It was only after several days of planning and building that he mentioned that it was a math project; part of the assignment was to calculate the area and perimeter. Here’s his booklet.
He came up with the idea to only have the raccoon’s tail showing since it was digging in the trash can for food. Here’s the model, complete with a hot glue pond with rocks, a little house, and a fence around the perimeter.
I knew he was happy with it when he agreed to a picture our way to school today despite his recent camera aversion.
