Carrie is going to have weekly homework assignments which come home on Friday and are due back on Tuesday. The first one was “Summer in a Shoebox”. She had to find 4-8 items that represented memories of things she did over the summer, and put them in a shoebox. They’re going to write or tell stories about those things over the next few weeks. This is Carrie’s summer, in a shoebox:
We put in a ticket from the Strong Museum butterfly garden, a bubble wand, a piece of chalk, a small vial of water from the pool, an acorn from Ithaca, a picture of her cousins and a drawing of her playing on the playground. The shoebox, with added soccer stickers, was from the sneakers we bought for her to play soccer in. That pretty much sums up our summer!
