A Chair For My Mother

We have been learning about "needs and wants."  In this book, a little girl and her family save their money in order
to buy the mother a nice, comfortable chair.  The mother works very hard so she can take care of her family.  The girl
thinks her mother "needs" a new chair so she can rest when she gets home from work.

We were asked to make a chair.  We could only use toothpicks and gumdrops!  Mrs. Urban
would not help us with this activity.  We designed our chairs and made changes when things
didn't work!  It was hard, but we did it!

James is proud of his chair!

Happy Thanksgiving!
