A Gold Certificate!!

This last term Taylor had to turn in a big project on Vikings. It had to be a replica of anything Viking related and she had to write a report about the object and then present part of that to the whole class. She chose to make coins. She made the coins out of salt dough and then painted them brown then added a little gold color to the top. She carved in each one a different design. Then when she finished the coins she sewed up a little bag to carry them in. Since this was her first project in the British school system we wernt sure if she did everything she was supposed to. Well the other day she came home with a GOLD CERTIFICATE. Only a couple of kids got them and they have her project displayed in the entry way to the school for all to see. I am so proud of how well she has done in this new school. Everything is SO different and she is the only American in her class, but she has really taken it as an opportunity to learn about a new culture and to teach them about her own. Her teacher is always telling us how great Taylor is in class and how the other students love to listen to Taylor and learn about life in America. When she gets the project back I will post some pictures of her with it.
