Her 2nd grade class had an assignment to read a biography and then create a diorama representing that book. Abby chose to read about Sacajawea and created her diorama to represent the time Sacajawea spent at Fort Clatsop (in Oregon) during the winter of 1805-1806. We visited this site last November with Papa and Gramma, so it was fun for Abby to read about it again.
Mark helped Abby with the popsicle stick cabin, and I won't tell you how many tries it took Abby and me to make that clay doll. Let's just say it reinforced the fact that I am not the least bit crafty! But Abby was pleased with the end result and we had lots of family fun working on this project.
Then last week Abby's school celebrated "International Day," and the students were encouraged to wear a costume representing their heritage. Abby was so excited to get to wear the Norwegian costume that Grandma from North Dakota made and gave her for Christmas!
She's pretty cute, huh?!
