Science Fair...

It was that time again... Patrick had his Science project due this last week. Last year in 5th grade they just did the board and he got an honorable mention but didn't place. This year in 6th grade we stepped it up a little bit and Joe and Patrick came up with this project to try out (Electric motor or Homopolar motor is what its called). It was fun for both to see how it would work and a little bit of a pain, being that the magnet you have to use you cannot buy in any store so we had to order it online and had a little mishap with it, but it all worked out. With this project this year he had to bring and do the board, have his project with him for the judges and a log book. He did really well this year with all and ended up placing 2nd. So, to say the least we were all excited that we actually placed! I say WE, because you all know when your child does a science project its just not the child who does it... Great job Patrick we are very proud of you.

Pure and trusting. You are a gentle soul who can get along with just about anyone. Everyone you meet instantly falls in love with you. How can they resist? You have a pure, lovable nature that's irresistable. Just don't trust everyone who comes across your path.
