MARCH - Science Fair and WACA

This month, Edison and Charlotte participated in the Science Fair for the first time. Both of them found their project ideas in a Star Wars Science Experiment library book. Charlotte made "force lightning" via some static electricity generating processes. Edison worked with his friend Alex to grow "light saber crystals." He learned a lesson in perseverance because the first method yielded no crystals and he had to find another procedure that worked! Both kids did research with library books and created all the information pages using Google Slides. Charlotte also used a cool chalk marker to make the lightning drawings on her board.
Reed has been doing great work at preschool. Here he is with Ms. Kate. She is giving him a lesson in counting by 5s / 3s / etc. (skip counting)
I got to play on the SC staff volleyball team this month. We definitely were outmatched by the student victors, but we kept our dignity and put up a good fight!
March means the annual state Activity Coordinator conference. I look forward to this all year as it is such an inspiring event filled with passionate people who totally understand the craziness that is coordinating an activity program and leadership program in a high school. My good friend Jaime is on the board and helped put it all together as well as run our area meetings. Love her! I did a fifty-minute session on bringing an equity mindset to our work and generated some interest in putting a team together to work on that at the state level... Much more to be done there!
