A very Busy Week


What started out this week to be somewhat busy turned out to be pure crazyness!!
Sunday we found out that the Pinewood Derby was Thursday and being unprepared it threw us for a loop. Mark and MJ started working between building appointments on the pinewood derby car Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday was weigh in and Thursday was the Pinewood derby. Thursday @ 6:00 was also Curriculum night ~ This is where the 4th graders did math games and the fifth graders had a night at the Museum. They dressed up in a character and had several poses. A button on their shirt that had to be pressed or a word that had to be said then the statue would come to life. Emily was a female soldier named Deborah Sampson. She dressed like a boy to cover up the fact that she was a girl. They found out she was a girl when she got shot and they had to examine her. Promptly at 7:00 we went to the church for the Pinewood derby. MJ had a great design and it did pretty well. He made it all the way to the second to the last round. Not bad for your first pinewood derby race. Great Job MJ and Emily.
