Completing a science fair project is a big deal for anyone. It involves research, organization, commitment, planning, trial and error, and decent writing skills to pull it all together enough to explain your ideas.
Not the easiest of tasks to do.
So when Julianne came home excited about the science fair at school that was
OPTIONAL
Matt and I exchanged looks.
Thankfully Grandma Jane happened to be visiting
and Julianne was smart enough to ask her to help
with her biggest and bluest eyes.
Julianne struggles with reading, writing, and especially math.
Learning does not come easy for her. She has spent the past three summers in intense tutoring learning to read and spends much of her school day in the resource room.
So it was a nice surprise that she was excited about the science fair. Julianne and Grandma got straight to work and worked diligently together.
That hard work paid off with a first place win!!
Julianne was so tickled and embarrassed to win that she wouldn't leave my side to go on stage but we know how proud she is of the work she did.
The ribbon is hanging proudly on her wall.
Vincent had his last soccer game of the season today.
It has been interesting to watch the progress that the team has made. They lost more games than they won this season.
Vincent has done lots of growing and maturing right along with his team. I love this photo because I'm not even sure exactly where his feet are and where his head is, he's part of the team.
That has not always been an easy lesson for him to learn but one that I'm grateful he is learning.
