A few cleaver words to describe Emma in fourth grade might be ~ busy beaver over achiever. She has spent more time at the homework this year than ever! She is doing great and we couldn't be more proud of her perfect report card and the glowing compliments. She works really hard and does not take the easy route when it comes to completing her assignments. When it came time to build her the Carmel Mission she literally built everything from scratch. Not the kit from Michael's and not just the church like the other kids, but the whole dang mission! Between writing, typing and editing her own report to building the structure she spent 3 months and countless hours. It was sometimes tough to sit by and watch as she'd collect the rocks, wash them, lay out her landscaping, hot glue, paper mache the domes, write on the tombstones, texture the walls, etc.. We helped now and then, but really this is right up her ally and so we just let her go with it.
She also had a science report and project to do at the same time, and somehow, many Saturdays later it is all done! I am so thankful for a playroom with a big art table that can take a beating and store all the junk for this kind of stuff.

WOW I am SERIOUSLY impressed. That is amazing. I don't think I could have even done that. :) Way to go Emma. Oh an NOah's project was very well done too. You have some super creative kids Suz! I'm not surprised. :)
