Luke came home from school excited to tell us about an upcoming project in Social Studies. He would be assigned a partner, and they would be assigned a country. Once given the country, they would complete research and create an Imovie presentation. The finale would include a feast of food made from each country around the world. Did I just hear ethnic food served at school? My smile widened and questions came pouring out: who would be his partner? did they get to pick their country? what country would he want? Luke rolled his eyes and asked that I be patient, as he knew none of those answers yet. Everyday he came home I would ask: do you have a country yet? The answer was always no and eventually, he explained that it was in fact his project, not mine (ouch).
