As I have mentioned in a few other posts, Liam is very disciplined in many areas including his work at school. For the last month, he has been telling John and I about a "continent project" he has been working on at school. By the description he gave, I honestly wasn't quite sure what he was doing. He kept talking about using push pins to make continents. As it turns out, they had an outline for each country and then the child uses a push pin or tack and punches along that line making very small holes until the picture just basically pops out. Then, Liam put all the pieces together to make the continent of North America. Against both my wishes and his teacher's (for fear that it might get lost or forgotten), he insisted one weekend on bringing home the "Canada" portion (in brown) because he really really wanted to finish punching it out with the push pin. Liam was so excited about this project and so excited to bring it home when he completed the entire thing. We were talking about his project in the car the other day and we discussed that we live in the United States. Liam said that the United States is in North America and I said that I thought maybe it was the orange one on his map, but I could not remember for sure which color the US was. He response was, "No Mom, the United States is actually the yellow one." Smart kid who seems to remember every little detail!
