The kids recently did a school project for Science Extra Credit.  They had to compile a variety of science current event articles.  The articles were cut out of current local newspapers, Wall Street Journal,  magazines, and more.  They read the articles, glued them to construction paper, and wrote a summary about each one.

The articles were on the following science categories – Animals, Electricity, Plants, Space, and Weather.  All the subjects are ones that the kids will be studying this year in school.  The kids had one week to put together all their articles for science extra credit.  The girls worked on their articles every day after homework, before school each morning, and even gave up some of their free time to do more articles.

We are so proud of how hard they worked all week.  By the end of the week they learned a lot about the various science subjects they will be studying in school.  They did more articles than we realized too.  Between the two girls these are the number of science articles they completed in one week:

• Animals – 9
• Electricity – 7
• Plants – 8
• Space -10
• Weather – 8

Way to go kids!  Thrilled that they love learning so much!  It will benefit them throughout the entire year!
