4 May 2014

Sofi had her cast party last Saturday night and her friends roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.  Becky saved some hot dogs for the younger kids to roast.  Gib built a fire after school on Wednesday.  Gib is very good at building fires so Becky told him he needs to give Helen or Abe a turn next time.

 Hot dogs are a treat at our mostly meatless house.

 The school science fair was Thursday.  Gib did a research project about animal bones.  He found the bones of a bird foot at Arches National Park during spring break and brought it home to look at with our microscope.  We got a cow bone at the butcher to compare it with.  You can read his entire report on his poster.

 Helen did a research project about how the arches in Arches National Park formed.

 Abe did an experiment to see if different kinds of rocks would break if they were frozen and thawed repeatedly.  He won 2nd place for 5th grade.

This photo shows the kinds of rocks he used.  Only the pumice and sandstone broke.

 Sofi is going to take the AP Calculus test this week.  This is a photo of her "studying" on Saturday.

Samuel saw the photo of your kids roasting hot dogs and thought they were using squirt guns to put out a fire.
