Ingenuity

Our youngest doesn't have good handwriting or drawing skills, so when his 5'th grade teacher assigned a project on Montana that required him to draw the state bird and flower, he was in despair. He was allowed to trace, but not trace on other paper and glue it in his report packet (???). I printed out pictures of the bird and flower, but the report packet paper was too thick to see through. So, he decided to make his own "light table:" use the computer screen with a big white page showing. Bingo: tracing was a snap.
