Park Academy Science Fair

The girls participated in their first Science Fair.  It was held at the home of one of the families.  Six kids made presentations and Hannah and Alyssa were the first to volunteer and the youngest to present.  Hannah took the lead and read from note cards.  Alyssa pointed to the board as needed.  They easily fielded questions from the audience.  Hannah even came up with answers she didn't know on the fly and spoke with such confidence... a future politician perhaps!  Now to find out how many eggs a butterfly actually lays at one time...

Book Club - The Little House on the Prairie

Hannah has a new friend from American Heritage Girls.  Claire invited her to come to a book club that she was hosting.  This small group of girls had no trouble talking about the book.  They chattered over a snack of cornmeal, apple pie and baked beans. They talked over each other as they answered questions while stringing a necklace of "Indian" beads.  They laughed as they build log cabins with Lincoln logs.

As a side note, we had watched the Disney version awhile ago and as we read the book, found that the book closely followed it.
