Did Ancient Romans Even Eat Popsicles?
As we wrap up the longest school year EVER next week (the Chicago Public School strike has the kids going until practically July), Dan's teacher thought she'd throw in one more elaborate project for good measure.

Boys might get their duck tape from their sisters. Duck tape is now used by girls to make hair bows here in Florida and maybe elsewhere. No sisters, so extra effort on Daniel's part.
ReplyDeleteDid Daniel put the sticky side of the duck tape under those popsicle sticks? Did he actually use wood glue or do we know?
I think Daniel deserves an A+ because his project generated newspaper publicity. Any teacher would not give him a poor grade and risk the writing sarcasm of his mother in print.
Let's hear it for Daniel!!
Duct tape is all the rage here, too! I saw a school bag made out of it! Danny only used wood glue and passed when his ship floated. Sadly, I think the teacher ignore me now. They assume EVERYTHING is going to end up in the blog. D'oh.
Delete2 Words for you Marianne-glue gun..They are magical. Just bring drinks for yourself when you have the take the kids to the ER for third degree burns
ReplyDeleteForget the kids. I was the one with 3rd degree burns while making Jack's First Communion banner. Those things should be outlawed. Along with carrots.
DeleteWell I'm sure that there were SOME Roman ships didn't float. I mean they couldn't have won every battle right? Or maybe they did - history is not my strong suit. Nor is ship building!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe you. You're building the Colloseseum out of matchsticks as we speak, aren't you?
