Science Fair!

Micah presents his project.
Showing Off!

This last week has been sooooo busy with science business. First, of course, we had our yearly science fair. Every year I ask for a little more from my students, and every year they don't disappoint. The science party started with a cool (and cute) performance from the pre-school class. They taught us about DNA and how it works in the body.

Imagine the sinful amount of pride I experienced when one of the judges told me how inspired she was by the children's experiemnts. Below  are some photo highlightts from this week and the names of all of the winners from this years science fair.
