Science fair!!

I have been crazy busy as usual. It was especially busy the last couple of weeks. We've had tons of basketball, I worked many hours on science fair project, travelled to science fair in Bethel for 3 days, went to Newtok for League basketball, and then had spring break. (I will post about this in a separate post.)

I took 1 student to Bethel for science fair.  She is a 4th grader and we had a blast. We got to have fun doing science, go to the store and go swimming!!  In the end she ended up getting first place in the elementary division!!

 

This is a picture of Gloria presenting her project.  She studied how animals stay warm.  To do this she filled a glove with Crisco (blubber), used a cloth (animal fur), and made a clay box (den). She placed a thermometer in each one and stuck them outside, monitoring the temperature every 10 minutes.  She also had a control, where there was nothing to protect the thermometer.

Crammed in the car to go to the store

Swimming was so much fun.  The pool even had a slide. For most of these students this was their first time swimming in a pool. Let's just say this was the highlight of the trip. Gloria was praying that we got stuck so we could go swimming again. lol.
