Erin's book report

Erin had a book report due this week and has put a lot of work into her project. We made the animals, truck, hay bales, and tools out of air dry clay. I only made a few suggestions and then Erin took off with it. She made most of the animals and did all the painting. She did a great job and I think she'll get a good grade on it!

The two dogs in the book thought they were tasting "cotton wood candy". This was Erin's favorite part of the book.


The dog, who hates cats, ended up in the tool shed, during a rainstorm, with a bunch of cats.


The hero of the story in this scene is tied to a post and has cats hanging around and bothering him. The haystack is the cats home. The barb wire fence is suppose to be keeping a bull fenced in.



This is the truck the the dog "drove" into the creek with hay bales on the back. The dog's owner is suppose to be trapped under bales of hay. I'm not sure what happened to the arm and leg that were sticking out from under them, but the book report is done.




The book report project consisted of four scenes that the kids picked from their book that were to be narrated and displayed while they gave an oral report.
