100 Days of School Project

Thank you to all of you who helped Katelyn reach her goal of 100 emails! It has been an exciting time as we collected the emails. (although in hind site collecting buttons would have been a lot easier! Then again, it wouldn't have turned into such a fun time of guessing how far away emails would come from, or seeing who we would get an email from next!)

To begin with we sorted the emails by the place they came from. Then with Zach's help we alphabetized the locations and grouped them by states and countries. We finally found a use for the jr. globe that has been sitting in Zach's room for 3 years! We used it and Katie and I spent time figuring out distances between Ohio and the other locations by having Katie touch the two points on the globe so we could record it on our list. Zach of course helped out by remembering the numbers and then judging which was the farthest distance.

Katelyn also enjoyed answering the questions people asked her, and then creating her cover for the binder and the awards for some of the participants with Creative Memories Storybook Creator Plus.

Congratulations to all who participated. Hope you enjoy viewing the awards. These are just the fun ways Katelyn came up with looking at her emails!

Here's the statistics for the project!
