The Paper Project: Week 11
Even though the Picket Fence Post kids didn’t have school last Wednesday — in honor of Veteran’s Day — and The Youngest Boy went on a field trip to Plimoth Plantation all day Thursday (I chaperoned and had to repeatedly prevent third graders from killing the chickens that were running loose on the 17th century inspired village), the kids still brought home from school a grand total of 79 pieces of paper last week.
Among the paper items were: Projects on Mayan life, papers and worksheets about the moon and Plimoth Plantation, as well as fliers about an ice cream social/fund raiser and a bunch of handmade flashcards.
This brings the grand total of the number of pieces of paper brought home by the three Picket Fence Post kids this school year to: 663.

Author and columnist Meredith O'Brien gives you a peek behind the picket fences of modern day life and parenting in the 'burbs. With humor and candor, it's her take on real parenting in the real world.
