A Sloth Project

Andrew is currently learning about the rainforest in school. One of the things that the class did for homework was a research project on a rainforest animal. Andrew chose the sloth as his animal. For the project Andrew had to make some type of representation of a sloth. He wanted to use clay.

I found some very cheap Crayola clay that just air dries for Andrew to make his sloth creation. It was a fun project to make and Andrew loved doing the arts and crafts portion of it.

The project also required the kids to write a paragraph of at least 5 sentences explaining how they made there animal. Andrew waited until the very bitter end to write his paper. In the end his paragraph was 25 sentences long. He had a lot to say about how he made his sloth. It was a very, VERY long day yesterday. Thankfully though the paper is done and it is all getting turned in on time. I hope that in the future Andrew will not put the writing part off to the end though. It really was a horribly long day of work for him.
