Henry's 1st Fifth Grade Project

For their first project this year, Henry's teacher assigned the "Brown Bag Activity". She asked them to find things from home that represent them in ten categories. Whatever items they chose had to fit inside the brown lunch bag, so they needed to be creative. They presented the items in their bag to their classmates on Friday to help their classmates and their teacher get to know them better.

Here's what Henry came up with:
The picture of the hayride represented scouting, a free time activity that he enjoys.
You can't see them, but the dry spaghetti noodles represents Henry's favorite food, although he does prefer them cooked and with spaghetti sauce.
The small gray rock on the keychain is actually dinosaur poop :), and that represents a future goal that he has. He might want to become a paleontologist.
The popsicle sticks represent skis. Although he has stayed up on his skis for a minute and a half, he would like to get better at skiing.
The picture of him and one of his best friends, Alex, on a tube represents two things. It represents a special ability he has, being able to mostly stay on a tube no matter what his Dad throws at him. It also represents one of his favorite places to go, which is the lakehouse.
The picture of Moxie represents the best part of his summer vacation, which was getting our puppy.
The "Mr. Potato Head" nose represents our family, as our last name is Nose(k). :)
Something that he really dislikes is represented by the plastic fork. He does not like to do the dishes.
Finally, the t-rex tooth represents something special about him that he would like his teacher to know. He has pulled out all of his 16 loose teeth by himself. Neither his Dad or I have ever had to do that for him.

Henry said that his presentation went very well, and that it got a lot of laughs. The biggest hits were the picture of Moxie (everyone said "AWWW!"), the nose, and the plastic fork. He did a good job!
