Tales of a 4th grade diorama

I'll just say it here.  I hate 4th grade!  I thought I was all done with that grade.  Apparently when you have children, you get to enroll in school again.  So....Thomas had to read a book and do a diorama about a scene from the book.   I thought Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing was a good book for him.....yeah, it was on his level and it was in the house so I didn't have to go buy a book.  We read it together and Thomas chose the scene where Fudge, almost 3 years old, climbs to the top of the jungle gym and attempts to fly, falls to the ground and loses his two front teef.  Naturally.  Why do the scene where Fudge thinks he's a dog and eats dinner under the table?  Anyhoo.....I got the supplies and we sat and did it together.  Mama's aiming for that A!  Well, Thomas turned it in and did his oral presentation.  Here's the picture of the diorama....




Here's the graded rubric....



Hellz yes!  Perfection!  Woohoo!!!  Is it bad that I'm super stoked about this?  Probably.  But, it's the little victories that make me happy.  Like when there's just enough fabric left on the bolt for me to get the amount I needed....cuz that happened today too.  Happy Tuesday people!
