It is the right of passage for all 4th graders to make an 3d Alamo project. We have worked each evening this week on the project. We made it from foam insulation board and used a dremel  tool to carve it out (which dad bought just for this project). We used a sandpaper wheel, which when complete made made it rough as you would want it to be. We also added some model train grasses for effect.

It was a total family effort with Jaidan and Kerrigan helping. When Jaidan found out one night that she could not do part of the project she said, "dad, I am so disappointed that I cannot help." Just wondering should a 3.5 year old be using the word "disappointed"?
