Big Girl's Diorama

It has been finished for a while, but I have been remiss in uploading pictures of Big Girl's diorama. She wrote a short report on the book, which I have transcribed here. All I asked for this report was a couple of sentences that describe the general problem that the Boxcar Children faced and the solution to it.

Her written report is taped to the back of the diorama. (In case you are wondering, I just now noticed the error with the possessive "team's" where she meant to write plural. We'll review that rule together to shore up her writing.)







The Boxcar Children: The Soccer Mystery

By Gertrude C. Warner

One day the Boxcar Children signed up for soccer. While they were playing some team's [sic] had trouble, like one of the best players got locked in her locker. Soon, they found out it was one of the other team's players.

For her next report, she is typing a blog post. (The girls have their own blog, but I do not link to it from either of mine.) This will get her to write a longer report, but under the guise of this new and fun game, namely, the blog. Her report is on a biography of Ben Franklin, and she must include three major events or accomplishments of his life, as well as the dates and places of his birth and death. Franklin's grave was one of the things we got to see when we went to Philadelphia for Independence Day.
