Unanswered Questions
I drink a lot of tea. I started saving the boxes the tea bags come in hoping to figure out a use for them. My kids made a reading response project for the book The Cricket in Times Square. We painted the outside to look like New York City (of course, they have just seen pictures but are just infatuated with anything New York). And they illustrated the setting and characters inside.
