We will do a variety of projects including drawing, building, writing/book reports, cooking, crafts, food art, etc.  Students will be given information on the project at the beginning of each book and suggested supplies.  There will be plenty of ways to make each thing so please don’t feel like you need to go out and buy things, we can make whatever you have available work.
