Creativity


Malissa suffers from that Thornton syndrome of being unable to do nothing.  She absolutely must be up to something or else she is sleeping.  There is no in between.
She expresses this by being very creative.  She’s always making something.  These are a couple of the projects she made in the last few weeks.
Finger Knitting

Malissa saw the other 4th grade class up to this and decided she had to figure it out so we looked it up online.  By the end of the day, she was turning out quite the impressive piece.
Volcano

She made a volcano previously in school but we still looked up instructions.

Once the cinder cone was made it was on to the ingredients which I conveniently had in the kitchen.

Success! The picture looks more yellow but our lava actually looked orange.
This was also a project of Malissa’s.  Her teacher had made some pom-poms out of tissue paper so Malissa tried her hand at it.  She made one giant pom-pom and it turns out it was a great decoration for her party.

We’ve been trying to decide…a bird?…a butterfly…its pretty fun anyway!
