Leaf Collection

Ridge got an A on his leaf project. He missed an A+ by one point because there was no date. Sorry teacher, there was a date on every page. I tried to make Ridge take it back to his teacher and get the extra point, but he wouldn't. It seems like I'm the only one who wanted the A+. I'm fine with that. Why in the world a teacher gives a "family project", I still can't understand. I don't need any more homework. Especially if it isn't going to be graded correctly. I'm just messin'. It was fun leaf hunting. We learned that on the ISU campus there is a collection of trees already identified. It was like one stop shopping. Even if we missed one point we had a good time doing it. Maybe when Brock is in 4th grade I can ask for a better project, like a collection of chocolate or jewels. Make it something the whole family would really like.
