Well, in WS's case, the dogs truly DID eat his homework!
I got an email from his mom yesterday morning saying that she HAD to share what had happened to her son. After the students designed and built their solar ovens, I gave them plans to build another - professionally designed plans along with some recipes of foods to cook.
WS, whose oven had been the one that actually worked at school, went home that day and sat down with his grandmother and built one from the plans I'd sent home.
WS at home with his second solar oven.
He placed his afternoon snack, a Pop Tart, in it, set it out in the back yard to catch the sun, and began the wait. (Solar ovens take a while, something WS already knew from experience.)
And then... disaster. His mom wrote,
W asked me to send you this picture. He and his grandma worked on the oven. Had to laugh, he put it in the yard after school, I get home and let the dogs out, and his dog doesn't come back, so we go in search. Moxy was eating the food in the solar oven:)
Poor WS! But he's a guy who NEVER stops smiling (I think this boy could fall and break his arm and STILL have a grin in place!) and so, when he arrived at school and I asked him about his cooking "homework," he smiled and said, "Yeah, my dog ate it, all right!"
