The dreaded book report...

M is a procrastinator when it comes to projects! Just like her Mom....I work better on a very close deadline! No need to hurry! This report is due on Friday, this Friday and she has known for weeks. I could have bugged and griped about it but I let her work on her own time as long as it gets done and turned in on time. So...guess what? She did it tonight, 1 day before the deadline! I sat and supervised and of course, took pictures (horrible blackberry pics). I think she did a great job!

Here's the book she read - it had to be a mystery:

And here she is diligently working on it:

And WA LA (sp?) the finished product:

I'm just glad it's over...I'm not much for homework. But I do love to watch her do a project and be creative!

  1. I ALWAYS waited until the night before when I was in school. Don't tell the Things that though. They don't need to know much about me in my school days! Good job, MOO! Love you!! Ang

  11. I'm the opposite. Waiting until the last minute would make me a wreck, but I know many people work best under pressure.

    Looks like she is a good artist!

  12. How cute! Hey I am with you on that wait until the very last minute thing- only I am really bad- you won't find my daughter having pics of the project- because it was 3 weeks later when I realized it had already been due and she wings it on her own! so basically it came and went and I never knew it- oops does that qualify me the bad mommy award?!!!=)
