Tomorrow may be the one hundredth day of school, if it
doesn’t snow in the wee hours of the morning. It has been pushed back several
times because of snow days. Either way
my son’s one hundredth day poster project is ready to go. We are big Martha Speaks fans at our
house. If you haven’t watched it, its
very clever and funny. It’s about
Martha, a dog who eats alphabet soup and the letters lose their way, they
travel to her brain and now she can talk – the theme song is great and tells
you the whole back story. You can find
it on Youtube, but better yet catch a whole episode on your local PBS station.
My son had to put together a creative grouping of 100
things. I helped him brainstorm a whole
list of possibilities and then he settled on this one. During the opening of the show a scientist
explains how Martha started speaking with a visual aid of an ex-ray showing
alphabet noodles traveling straight to her brain. So I lightly drew an outline of Martha from the
show’s logo and cover illustration from the original book by Susan
Meddaugh. Then my son cut it out and
traced the head portion to create a flap.
He glued the top and colored in the details and added the ex-ray of her
brain under the flap where you can count one hundred alphabet soup
noodles. Happy One Hundredth Day!
