Retirement Home Entertainment

At the first of June, Clover will have her first dance recital and we can't wait. The other day, Miss Kourtney the dance teacher, asked if the little dancers could have a practice run for the recital at a local retirement home where her own grandmother lives....isn't this the best idea ever.

The girls did three dances and were SO PRECIOUS and the elderly residence LOVED them as you could imagine. Clover loved performing for the grandma's and grandpa's and they made her feel so special.

The blue outfits were for the Mermaid song.

"Spish-Splash I Am Taking A Bath"

This was their Broadway type finale...it was a hit.

5th Grade Science Project

This was officially our first science project.

Zoie and her friend Annie did this science project together....The Petri Dish Experiment. Their Hypothesis was that the school computer lab keyboards would have the most bacteria and then took nine other samples around the school to see if that was correct. They sampled; the office telephone, water fountain button, after school hand, monkey bars, keyboards, gym floor, door knob, library book, girls bathroom knob.

They let the samples grow and documented daily growth for at least five days and found that the gym floor had the most germs and growth. They worked so hard and did such a great job. We (the moms and families) were very proud of them.

*These petri dishes with the bacterial growth were SO sickening and STINKY! I personally never smelt them because I have a natural response to grossness. If something looks gross I mouth breath through clenched teeth (as not to then taste the stinkyness). Everyone else testified of the stench and I believe it.

Countdown to Summer

School is about to end for Summer break and we have been having a lot of fun around here.

First: Zoie, Annie, Lindy, Ashlie, and Bailey tried out for the Talent Show with their comedy skits and made it. They got a lot of laughs and it was great to see some thing so original and fun.

Second: Pack Meeting was great. The scouts did several 'minute to win it games' and Dalton had this one. He needed to bounce a pencil off of it eraser and have it land in the cup...repeat three times...winner!

Third: Sunny was looking for some sunshine and ready for a swim. The rain sufficed.

Fourth: Clover's new thing is The Thing or as she likes to call it The Chick. She looks like a little chicken when she puts on her sweatshirt this way.
