The project

Calvin has been squirreling away some collectibles and trinkets he has found. These have included: broken paper clip, a penny, the black part of a binder clip, a broken zipper, a button, a beer cap, and other little pieces of garbage. He keeps everything in a plastic bottle in his room. 

This morning at school he found a discarded piece of black foam that he put in his pocket. He still had it at the end of the day. 

He claims it is for his project. We all have asked what his project is, but he won’t tell us. He was talking about Iron Man and making a suit...so maybe? 

Also, can someone please decipher this. Calvin wrote me a note and got angry when I asked him to read it to me. When I got the first few words (Dear mom, I hope we make something to put on our...) he told me I did a good job and to sound out the rest of the words.
