Violet's 1st Grade School Project: The General Sherman Tree

Violet made her project on The General Sherman tree which is the largest tree (by volume) in the world. The tree and teensy little people on the ground are made to scale. Violet painted the background and made the tree with papier mache, set up the little people and the bears and really did most of it herself (a little help from Mom). Judges came to the school and she had to give a little speech about the tree and the judges had to make sure that she did most of the work herself. And, guess what!!! She came home with the BLUE RIBBON, 1st PRIZE!!!
