We are a part of a homeschool group that meets twice a month. Most meetings are parent-taught. The December meeting, however, was a chance for the students to share book reports. Rosemary chose to do her report on Cranberry Thanksgiving by Wende and Harry Devlin.
This is the poster Rosemary made. And she really did it pretty much all on her own. I drew the lines to separate it into sections for her and held the yarn while Rosemary cut it for Mr. Whiskers’ beard.
The top left picture is of the Thanksgiving table with mismatched spoon, cranberry bread, and turkey. Then there’s a picture of a cranberry bush and cranberry bread. The last at the top is Mr. Horace. The book says Mr. Horace smells of lavender and Rosemary wanted to make her poster smell like lavender. We had some lavender scented oil that she dabbed on her poster. The bottom has Grandmother, Mr. Whiskers (with a tie under his beard), and Maggie. Rosemary wanted googly eyes for each one. She glued them on earlier in the week but we had to re-glue them at the library the day of.
Rosemary did a great job giving her report in front of everyone. Most of the kids are older and that didn’t seem to faze her a bit. I asked her questions about the book and she answered them. She wanted to make sure everyone laughed when she showed them Mr. Whiskers’ tie and they did! She didn’t like the microphone but tried to speak loudly so everyone could hear.

After the reports, we headed to a nearby park for a Christmas picnic with the group. I feel like we’re now starting to get to know the other families better and Rosemary actually looks forward to co-op days!
