Oh, the places I would go.

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the one who'll decide where to go." -Dr. Suess

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?


Layla was to make a poster or shoebox, etc. showing where she would go.
She came home knowing she wanted to show Paris! She's always had this weird interest in Paris, specifically the Eiffel Tower. Not that the desire to go to Paris is weird, just slightly abnormal for a 6-year-old maybe? I fully expected her to say Disney or the beach. Not my Layla, she wants to go to Paris. To be fair, her second choice was Monkey Joe's. I can probably attribute her love of the Eiffel Tower to an episode of Wonder Pets circa 2006, if you want to know the truth.

Here are the three reasons she came up with:
1) The Eiffel Tower was built in Paris.
2) Paris is known as the "City of Love". (I have NO IDEA how she knew that one... or why it makes her want to go there.)
3) Paris is the perfect place for artists and painters (one of her two future career options, the other being archaeology)... but since they had to be FACTS and not opinions, we altered this one to be: Claude Monet, a famous painter, was born in Paris.

She got a 100! and some quite complimentary notes from the teacher on her project :)
