Apr. 25, 2009 - Annual EXPO at Co-Op
Tonight was our annual EXPO at our co-op. The girls have been working on their entries all week. Lulu and Monkey entered the science competition together. They built two greenhouses out of a crate. They planted herbs. One greenhouse received light 24/7. The other greenhouse was lit for 12 hours and then off for 12 hours. Their questions was, "Do plants need time without light?". The result of their experiment was no. The herbs that received constant light sprouted faster and grew much larger than the herbs that received less light. It ended up being a really great project.
Lulu also entered the spelling bee, a drawing, and a Lego creation.
Monkey entered a painting and baked a hot fudge cake. This cake is very neat. She added the mixture for the cake to the pan first. Then she topped it with the hot fudge mixture. I poured the boiling water over the cake. When it bakes, the two layers switch places. The hot fudge is under the cake. Very cool!
Lil entered a painting, a Lego creation, and photography. Her photography entry was from Monster Jam, of course.
I am very proud of the hard work the girls put into their projects. They were extra excited tonight since Ms. Lana came to see all their items on display. Thanks Ms. Lana!!!

| Hi. Your girls did a great job on their projects. I'll admit...I wish my boys would put that much care into a project like that. I'm homeschooling three boys and one girl, and I also have three other little ones. I'm new to blogging, but I am enjoying seeing what others are doing in their homeschools. Keep persevering...you are doing a great job! |
