Yesterday Ashley participated in the school science fair. Her project was to determine if we can measure the weather. We used her science book as her main reference. She spend the last month learning about measuring the weather with thermometers, wind vanes, and rain gauges. She tracked the temperature for two weeks and created a beautifully colored chart. She then tracked how many inches it rained for one week. She then created a nice line graph chart to show her results. We talked about about wind vanes and how they work. We looked at lots of different types on the internet. I had hope to create one with her, but I ran out of time. To finish off her week, she created a wonderful presentation board to present at the fair. She also created a three page report on everything that she learned.
I was so proud of Ashley after the fair. She was the only child in her group (K-3rd grade) that hand wrote all the information on the presentation board. She was also the only one that completed the report, which was mandatory for the fair. All the other boards, the parents typed out the information.
There we lots of great projects there and everyone had a wonderful time. The also had a lot of vendors there for a curriculum show. At most of the vendors tables, they had raffles for prizes and candy. Needless to say, the kids like the curriculum area almost more than looking at all the projects. I was so happy that teaching textbooks were there. I got to see the full 3rd grade program. I have been looking into purchasing it for the last year and now I'm sold. The girls both found vendors to take piano or violin lessons. Jake found a karate lessons and a nature study class. My little wild Max loved the gymnastic vendors. There were two there from our local area. They both brought a few floor mats and things for the kids to play on or try out. Max spend almost an hour at just one of the spots. I'll for sure be getting him into a class next school year while the others are taking their classes on Tuesdays.
