Aidan's First Project

It finally happened...Aidan was assigned a project for school! The kid has watched his brother make posters and projects for 4 years now. He always felt left out and jealous. Well, it's his turn now! Aidan's class has been learning about the rainforest for a couple weeks now. The project paper came home yesterday after school and Aidan went right to work on it. We luckily had the poster board at home since we knew his project would be soon. He knew exactly what he wanted to do and only wanted minimal help. He insisted I draw a "flying toucan". Not a simple one perched on a stick, but one with spread wings. I am not an artist, but we managed. There obviously was some parental help, but he wouldn't take any guidance :) Aidan knows what he wants!!!
He took it to school today. I'm sure the teacher thinks I must be psycho mom who makes her 6 year old complete a week long project in less than 24 hours :) Look how proud he is!!!

Make sure that the school isn't misinforming your kids with lots of Lefty environmentalist crap! If they're teaching Aidan that without rainforests, there'd be no oxygen, Aidan is being lied to. All of the trees on earth produce <1% of our oxygen. Most oxygen is generated by the plankton in the ocean. Remember: no one cared about the rainforests when we called them jungles. It's all marketing. The same thing goes double for "protected wetlands" or, swamps.
