Sundays and science fairs and educational links
I had a funny post put up about an 11 year old's guide to doing a science fair project, but it embarrassed the 11 year olds, so I took it down. Let's just say it's been a stressful, obsessive, procrastinating weekend that has left me wondering if their REAL experiment was measuring the effects of stress on parents.
We have about six weeks left of school in which they have ANOTHER research project, track day, the science fair demonstration day, a Revolutionary War Ball (for which I have to create period costumes), the Battle of the Books day, and of course graduation.
Is summer coming? Really?
You can find free educational clip art (like the dreaming little boy above) at Discovery.
Some kids have trouble finding books they like, Book Adventure lets you put in what you are interested in (animals, adventure, history, sports, etc.) and your grade level. You get back a whole list of suggested books to read!

It makes me nuts that they take out art and music and still make everyone go through the torture of a science project.
We are lucky that our very active PTA pays for art. We still have music too. AND science projects. Sigh.
I wish your boys would teach my boy to love reading.
I thought he was a book lover - I've heard them talking books before. We'll have to see if we can't get him interested in some of their favorites!
