Cole's solar system project

Cole's final homework project of the year was a solar system project. His 2nd grade teacher is tough, tough, tough and expected to be impressed. Paco came up with the idea of taking a large sheet of metal, spray painting it black, and coloring and cutting out stars and planets out of magnetic vent covers. Then Cole and I looked up two facts about each planet for him to talk about. This turned out great!! Cole loves to be in front of a crowd and present, so we knew he had this in the bag. Here is a video of him doing a practice presentation at home, complete in his mis-matched pajamas. (Sorry the quality isn't great, I had the camera on the wrong setting but didn't realize it until he had already taken it to school!)
