Monday night at 11:30 pm I decided to get started on the #KidlitChurckleChallenge. I figured I needed math to help me with the 60° angles so I started folding paper. Then it took a few tries to get the words in the right place. Finally, I did the lines first. Now I am ready to brainstorm!
Ito looks great! I suggested that my local library purchase it!
