The Triginta Tree!

Meri's leaf project is done!!!  YAY!  She carried it into the school this morning and I'm sure will get an 
A+++ along with a hug from the principal.

This tree has thirty, count em' 30 different types of leaves on it, thus the "triginta" label.  I looked it up.  It means 30 in Latin.  


I'm into dead languages... Not many can contradict what I say.
  
Blogger sum terribilis!

I know that looks bad, but look it up on Google translate.  
Maybe I should have chosen a different phrase to say... 


Anyway, she laminated each leaf that she'd sacrificed so much for, trimmed around them, punched a hole near the top and strung it with ribbon, which she curled with a scissors.  To make sure they don't fall or blow off, we put a little piece of tape at the bottom of each golden swirl.

I'm quite sure a parade may be presented today  in her honor.

I had to do a bug collection. Leaves are much more my thing. Bravo on this project!
