I don't like social studies anymore.

DIORAMA. Noun.
Wikipedia has an article on:

Singulardiorama
Plural
dioramas
diorama (plural dioramas)
A
three-dimensional display of a scenery, often having a painted background in front of which models are arranged, e.g. in a museum where stuffed animals are presented against a painted landscape.

Remember this one?

This was only the second-stage of the pyramid. We decided that 300 sugar cubes weren't enough, so Hface increased it to almost 600 sugar cubes. She then spray painted it and V had a great idea to spray it with adhesive and sprinkle real sand on it. Did you know spray adhesive melts sugar? Ya, me neither. I don't have a picture of the final product as it was SO great it's on display at school.
The Parthenon (Ancient Greek: Παρθενών) is a temple of the Greek goddess Athena, built in the 5th century BC on the Athenian Acropolis. I bet you can't even tell the difference between the REAL thing and the model...

The latest project....mosaic. This was fun and less expensive than the Parthenon... she hasn't turned it in yet, though, so we're not sure about the grade...

Where Chloe gets to hang out while we're crafting :)
