Free Event Pumpkin Launch - The Discovery Science Center along with California State University Fullerton and The Engineering Computer Science Dept of CAL State Fullerton is partnering up to present this Free Science event. The event is being sponsored by Time Warner and Scholarshare.com.

I attended last year and the event proved to be fun and educational. We learned hands on science. There were several stations on how to apply science in a fun way. One station was how much weight can an aluminum boat carry ( you made the boat). Another was a food coloring plus oil and water create a fun water decoration. It was free and the kids enjoyed learning about science in a fun way. They also had food trucks to feed your tummy. I recommended to get there early to find a parking spot.  

Register today and attend this Saturday. Go to the link now: Discovery Science Center

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.

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

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".
