Math & sewing

Our first math/sewing assignment: make some cool covers for the 3-ring binders we'll be using.

1. Let Nate pick fabric (1 yard will be plenty)
2. Figure out design of cover
   
3. Measure our binder and calculate fabric cuts, with seam allowances
4. Cut
5. Sew!
   

Lego Journal

A friend gave me a fun idea that Nate could grow into: give him a picture of an architectural landmark (e.g., Eiffel Tower, L'Arc de Triomphe, the Pentagon) and have him recreate it using Legos. Along the way, he has to write out step-by-step directions in his Lego Journal so the next person could recreate his design. Finish the page by including a picture of the finished project.
