Wisconsin landmark project
Inspired by the San Francisco and California landmark projects she did in third and fourth grades, Zoe decided to do something similar for Wisconsin. Shortly before our trip the two of us came up with a list of, and did some preliminary research on, 25 landmarks and points of historic interest in the state. When we got to Madison she then assigned Grandma, Grandma, Sandy, Avery and me several landmarks, and for each one we found a photo and compiled a bunch of facts.
The project was a fun way to expose the kids to a place they don’t know much about (and even my parents, lifelong Wisconsinites, learned some things). But I had to laugh: This was such a Zoe thing to do on vacation!
