I promised to show you the completed car mat we started two weeks ago. The final product is very cool, even though it required twice the time and supplies we expected.
I got the idea from a Family Fun article, but if you want the supply list, just let me know.

That’s very cool. Lil’ Duck got a pre-made one from a friend that he LOVES.

BTW, your digg link just points to the main page, not to digg that story - read more here on how to make it actually digg this post - http://digg.com/tools/integrate
Thank you for the head’s up!! There is so much I don’t know. The process for integrating it seems way to complicated. Does anyone know of a plugin that will do it automatically?? I use Wordpress 1.5.

You and your students are amazing.
That old pick up truck reminds me of one (stick shift on the steering column) that I drove when I was a teenager. Oh yea… I popped the clutch a few times - cuz it was a long way to the floorboard.
Once you figure out diggs and plug ins and all that techi stuff you can teach that - homeschool some of us dimwit bloggers!
Oh, Pamela, what would I do without you? You’re a sweetie. My mom bought an old truck like that for me to learn to drive, but the neighbor totalled it before I turned 16. I always thought that would have been a pretty cool vehicle. And the VW rabbit with a stick that I learned on wasn’t any easier;)

I made one of these for my son years ago and it has been well-loved. I made mine to look like our neighborhood: church, apartment building, school, grandma’s house, McDonald’s, all the places he loved.
It was really neat putting it together. We talked all about the important parts of the community too. Notice the lake and 4-wheeler trail were very important features;)

They did an amazing job! I can see that they must have had a lot of fun putting it all together! My daughter did a quick map, it was only 8×11, this year in her Social Studies class of the route we use to take her to school. Knowing the streets and directions, landmarks, and compass rose. She would have really liked to paint and make a bigger map! You know, I would have had some fun helping her, so I imagine you had some fun too, which is good that you all had FUN, and learned at the same time!
Thanks Christine! We really did have a lot of fun doing this. I’m finding that with a lot of our activities. I’m enjoying them as much as they are…

[…] If you read Deena’s entry on Friday, you know that last week didn’t end on a great note. For a week chocked full of great things, it was really a shame that it ended with stress and frustration. […]
