I am a teacher but have decided this year should take a slower pace than last year, that I should take time to appreciate life, so how better than to document it in photos!

Day 119 Rethinking.



Declan has a school assignment that he has had for some time. It involves collecting newspaper articles over a 2 month period. The problem with this is that we do not usually get the newspaper in our household. 
Another problem is that it states in the assignment that at least half of the articles are to be from newspapers NOT ONLINE ARTICLES. 
To overcome this, we searched newspaper sites to find dates/papers, and then went to the library to photocopy the articles from them. 
Problem...the library only keeps papers for about a week!
So after a bit of a rethink, about what articles to use (thus using the few papers we DID have at home), we ended up with more than the minimum amount of required articles...now to get him to do the REAL work for the assignment!
