I read a few Little House books outloud last year. I would read while we ate dinner. A few chapters really took out my voice.

How Much Did Groceries Cost in the 1980s? - Blog Entry20 Jan 2007 05:18 PM In the 1980's I used to grocery shop with my mom. I was her calculator. We would pick up groceries and I would tell her to stop when we reached $100.00. If were weren't done when I said stop, we had decide what to put back, and what to pick up to reach $100.00. I was never more than $1.00 off. There may have been anywhere from 9 to 11 people eating dinner each night. So 100.00 purchased, breakfast foods like oatmeal, pancake mix, and breakfast cereal, bread, peanut butter, jelly, bologna, mustard, mayo, ketchup, fruit, a couple gallons of milk, juice, (no soft drinks), 7 family packs of meat, rice, potatoes, vegetables, pasta, and sauce. I spend almost the same amount now for my family of 4.

If you have a documentable project done in excellence, then you will want to add that to your child's portfolio. Hope I helped.
