Discovery Science Center - Bubblefest

Discovery Science Center is hosting Bubblefest until April 14th. Bubblefest is a very entertaining event for all to see.  This event has hands on experiments that bring life to bubbles.  Experiments include "The Sheet of Bubbles", which placed a pole in a tub of bubble solution.  When you pulled the rope, a bubble sheet is created between the pole and the solution.  This experiment shows the effects of placing your hand on the bubble.  By placing a wet hand on the bubble, one can put it through the bubble sheet without breaking it.  Another experiment had a tray with bubble solution allowing you to create multiple bubbles that were linked together by blowing through a straw.  The kids really enjoyed the creative processes in these experiments.  

Bubblefest made everyone in my family smile and they had a great time playing.  Everywhere you went, there were bubbles being created.  In this picture, my husband is reliving his childhood by making a giant bubble.  Our kids are thrilled to see their dad make this giant bubble and captivated waiting for their turn to try to make their own.  This was a very proud moment when I was able to capture this amazing photo before his bubble popped.  Hands on exploration of bubble solution was great for the kids to experience.




Inside the large tent was the amazing #Bubblefest show.  This show is filled with creativity and "how does he do it", moments.  I was surprised to see how many adults become kids the instant the show starts.  There is something magical about bubbles that will transport you to your childhood.  Be ready to be young again.  Deni Yang delivers a very fun performance by making extraordinary bubbles that you have to see to believe.  There were no cameras allowed during the performance so you will have to go see for yourself how bubbles can dance, glide and jump to the music.  Laser lights and a bubble extravaganza conclude the show leaving the audience jumping with joy.  There is special seating for children close to the stage so they won't miss a bubble.  This is a show not to be missed as it is a once a year event.  Bubblefest ends April 14, 2013, so show your support today.

How to make a California Mission Model.

Learn how to make a California Mission Model at home or in the classroom. We made this project as part of the California Public School Fourth grade requirement in a group setting. Continue to read on to get the supply list and instructions for a successful mission model. On an ordinary day, I was reminded how amazing kids really are when there are no limits. Just as equally amazing are the teachers who guide them and teach them everyday.  I am very thankful for the opportunity that I was given as a parent volunteer.  The day was like a beautiful dance where parents, teachers and students came together for a common goal. The goal was to make models of California Missions from a simple picture and lots of cardboard.  I can honestly say the goal was reached and everyone deserved an "A".

State Testing and a letter of encouragement

State Testing CCSS SBAC is starting next week for our area.  This semester, my son's fourth grade teacher has asked that I write him a letter of encouragement.  She gave us a few weeks notice. I have, in the past few days, written a few handwritten notes of encouragement. Then, I would wake up the next day realizing that it was not loving enough and second guessing myself. This task has been a little hard for me.  Then, the final email reminder came from the teacher. It read as follow: "This is just a friendly reminder to please send a letter of encouragement to your student to be opened this coming Monday, May 1. Students will be given the letters prior to taking their first test."  Oh my goodness, I have to get it done!!! So, I put on my big girl pants and re-wrote the letter for the 5th time. This time, I made it classroom friendly and left out lots of the I love you's and all the mushy stuff I had written before. The letter went something like this:  Dea
