School Projects: Science Current Event Articles
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!
Our Wall Street Journal Has Been Shredded!
Our Wall Street Journal has been attacked by the furry critter that thinks she rules our yard!
Some days, for whatever reason, our dog decides to shred our Wall Street Journal before we have a chance to get it picked up and out of the driveway. It doesn’t happen every day and there really isn’t any rhyme or reason to it (that we can come up with). We think she tends to shred it more when it gets thrown a little further into the driveway. Maybe she doesn’t like the news that day or she’s just playing or she’s mad at us for who knows what. We did uncover three of her partially decaying squirrels this week when we were mowing so maybe this is her way of paying us back. Sometimes she just tears the plastic off the newspaper and other days she gets the plastic and the newspaper.
It’s some what readable. Hopefully, there wasn’t any important news in the sections that are missing, ha!
