Discovery Science Center Mega Bubblefest Laser Show XVIII ends April 20th.

Spring is here and the Discovery Science Center has the best show in town. Deni Yang is an amazing Bubble master. He holds a world record for having the most people inside a bubble. His show Bubblefest Laser Show is a hit with all the kids and adults. It is a show filled with bubbles that can dance with rhythm. This amazing show makes science fun to learn. Simple ingredients such as soap and water are turned into magical bubbles. There are little bubbles and giant bubbles that dance on stage. It is truly a must see performance that makes you feel young and full of energy.

After watching the amazing show, the family and I were able to make our own gigantic bubbles and roll inside one as well. This year, the event is being held on a large section of the DSC parking lot so it felt as though it was a bigger event than last year.

Get inspired and make your own bubble solution:

2/3 cup Joy dish washing soap

1 gallon water

2 to 3 tablespoons of glycerin

With a short walk we went from Bubblefest to Space. In the main building, there is everything you need to explore science to its extreme. Learn how rockets blast off into space, learn the physics behind ice skating and hockey with the Anaheim ducks. Learn more about recyclable product packaging and shop in the market to learn how to be environmentally responsible. Additionally, sit in the earthquake simulator and take a walk through the DSC's other exhibit Grossology.

There are (4) Bubblefest shows running throughout the day that are usually packed to capacity. I suggest you arrive early to avoid the crowds. Wear comfortable shoes and bring your smile. Bubblefest ends on April 20th. After this date you will have to wait a whole year to see it.

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: ...

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".

Field Trip to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Buena Park

My family and I were invited to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament for an afternoon of entertainment. I want to tell you about our journey into the Middle Ages via Medieval Times. It began at the will-call window with the kind clerk suggesting we visit their museum for a small fee. We said yes immediately to exploring their Middle Ages Museum called “The Museum of Torture”. It sounded interesting and educational to see Medieval exhibits. As we headed to the museum, a women dressed in traditional Middle Ages attire adorned all of us with blue crowns. We were assigned Don Alberto Del Mau as our Knight for the tournament. This meant we would have to cheer and support our Knight into battle. Don Alberto Del Mau is a young squire who is renowned as a champion of the defenseless. Armed with this knowledge, we set out to visit the Museum of Torture. Inside the museum, we realized that living in the Middle ages was a terrible time for all who crossed Royalty. ...
