Science Fair

It's that time of year--big school projects, recitals, reports, finals-- it's a bit hectic around our house these days. I'm sure you can relate:)It was Alexander's 1st year doing his own Science Fair Project. He wanted to know why wiffle balls don't travel very far when they are hit. The boys made a catapult, tested, measured & recorded the distance of different kinds of balls. Xander Man worked hard, and was chosen as one of 3 students from his class to move on to the overall (4-6 Grade) Science Fair. Way to go!
He received a medal for having the best board design! The color scheme, the fonts, and the holes cut out of the word "Wiffle Ball" were all his idea. We let the Silhouette do the cutting.
I joked with my friends that he wouldn't let me add felt or rhinestones to his project. I'm glad! He did a great job, had fantastic ideas, and worked hard to make this all come together.
Little Miss Courtney's class did a Science Fair project about ice cream and won for the Kindergarten grade level! Her class & teachers are so cute. Here she is with one of her teachers, Mrs. Voyles. Great job, class!
