Well, what a day today was! After many weeks of preparation, my class finally had their science fair at Nelson School. The kiddos selected projects on their own, worked hard to do some research, they conducted their experiments, wrote up a "Big kid" report, created a fancy display board, and presented to classmates, friends, teachers, and parents. It was such a sight to be seen. The kiddos did most of the work today. I bopped around taking pictures and making sure everyone was all set. I had to frequently visit the Tsunami presentation because, well, things were getting a little washed up! He was having so much fun destroying the town that he was cracking his project. Oops! Nothing a little hot glue can't fix! We had a dart projector that blasted NERF darts across the playground. It was outstanding. We had bike jumps, cookies, static balloons, sinking and flosting, milk color wheels, rusting hot wheels, blowing up a balloon with no hands, a mini-hot air balloon and of course, the tsunami. Teachers and parents loved listening to the kiddos present. How cute it is to hear 8,9 and 10 year olds use the word hypothesis correctly? Too cute. They also talked about controls, data, procedure, materials, and conclusions. My little ones are growing up!
I was pooped afterschool. After a 45 minute tutoring session with one of my kiddos, I prepped for tomorrow before I came home for a quick cat nap. I certainly needed it. : ) I am very glad this is done.
Time now to call it a night. I hope you all had a wonderful day. Let's hope the weather warms up again! Love ya!
