sky monument

This was the second field trip of the year for the Kindergarten class....National Building Museum in Washington, DC. 

I went on this same field trip with Aiden last year. 

Each kid built a building that you might find in a city - institutional buildings, industrial buildings, residential buildings, and commercial buildings.  Sky volunteered to build an institutional building - which included schools, monuments and museums.   Sky's building was the "Sky Monument" - inspired by the National Monument in our nation's capital. 

Sky decided on the color yellow to attract tourists...smart girl.

I was so impressed with her focus...we had 45 minutes for the project and she used every available minute.

I love going on field trips with my kids...one of my favorite perks of being a "stay at home mom".

I love this picture.  Sky was very proud of her building and without a doubt, she had the most interesting building.  Every kid and teacher came by to admire it.

After the project we ate lunch as group...that was a lot of fun too.
