We had the first ever Huntsville Homeschool Showcase last night. This was an evening for students to show off a talent, particpate in a skit, science fair and an art show. All of the kids did a great job! Of course, mine had to participate in *everything*!
Here are Brogan and Christian working on their Science Fair projects...
Brogan tested which detergent worked best to remove stains. She used a powder, liquid and my homemade detergent. The powder worked the best.
Christian tested to see what would happen if you put white carnations in water with food coloring. He found out that the blue worked the fastest and we talked about how a plants root system and stem give it nourishment and keep it alive.
Not only did they have to do their project but there was also a judge tha they had to explain the experiment to. He asked questions about their experiment and gave them ideas on how to improve it. It was really a great process for them.
There was also an Art Show...
I didn't have Rylen entered and he as very upset that he wasn't getting to do anything. I thought that we would just finish up his alphabete book that we had been working on and enter that but "NO" he of course, wanted to do something different. I went through one of my craft books and he saw this fish so that is what he made. The mom that was putting everything together was so nice to let me add him, the week before of course.
Brogan found a craft idea in a book and decided to go with that. It was great for her because she loves to draw. We were supposed to set the pictures out in the rain but we never had any so we improvised with a spray bottle.
Christian didn't know what he wanted to do so I thought a hammer, nails and a board would attract his attention. I was right! He told me what shape he wanted and we nailedthat shape in. Next I showed him how to make a design with yarn. He did a great job once he got the hang of it!
Brogan and Christian both partcipated in a skit "Noah's ark, well sort of". Brogan was the narrator and Christian was one of Noah's sons. In addition, Brogan read a poem that she wrote in our poetry class that we did in co-op and she played a piano piece while her friend sang. They all did a great job!!
