Science Fair 2016

In third grade, the kids start doing science projects, and I have to admit I've been dreading this. Thankfully, this year Aidan was very motivated and knew what he wanted to do in January, and Cary jumped on board and they had the cannon built in February, so it was pretty painless for me. ;) I helped him with the organizing his board, and what not, but we tried to make him do most of it. (Which was a serious test of patience for both Cary and me, but it got done.) ☺

 Aidan with Cary's help built and air cannon and here is Aidan showing how it works for the other kids and judges. 

These two were done so they found a toy pile while we waited for the judges results

Aidan's project received 1st place for the 3rd grade group.

He came to show us his ribbon and told us, "Mom, when they called my name, I was so happy I almost cried tears of joy!"

We're super proud of all the accomplishments and strides Aidan has made this year. The transition to 3rd grade has not been easy for him (and us!) so I'm glad to see some of his hard work paying off.
