Inquiry Fair Projects
The kids are required to do a project every year. It is a major part of there grade at the end of the year. We are able to see the projects at the kids Open House along with everyone
else's in their classes. Jessica, being in Middle School grade, I wasn't able to see any of what she did because they do most of it at school. She did hers on two different types of birds. One from the Tundra (Snowy Owl)and one from the
Rainforest(
Replentant Qustzel). She
compared and contrast and
wanted to learn about the different types of birds. She also had to talk about her display for the 2 hours at the open house for part of grade.
Kimberlyn choose to do the Roadrunner. She had to pick an animal that lived in the desert of California. They had to write a report and make a 3 dimensional of there project environment.
Starting off.....
The first pictures that I have to share our from our trek back in August of 2006. I know if was a while ago, but an experience that I will never forget. We were there for a week. I went on the cooking commitee. We prepared meals for be breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks on the road for the youth. We had over 400 youth and leaders and that isn't counting us (food committee), equipment committee (Mike was on), and first aid specials. I was up at 4am helping with a bunch of us to get breakfast on by 6am so that the youth could be on the trek by 7am. We would take turns making breakfast, lunch and snacks for the youth. They had to have there lunches with them and snacks needed to be ready when the time for delievery was needed. When everyone was done with breakfast, the BIG CLEAN UP and pack away so that we could get to our next destination before dinner so that we could set up and cook before the youth arrived from there 16 miles of walking all day long. Somewhere we still needed to find time for us to eat too! If we were lucky we were to bed by 10 to 11pm at night. Not much sleep, but I don't remember much of that. We did get a chance around 12noon to 2pm to explore a little. The first day we were all able to go on a special hike up above the Sweetwater River, to Martins Cove. We heard stories of how the pioneers lived and struggled through these times. It was a beautiful, humid day and I am glad I had the chance to be with Mike that day. We didn't get to see much of each other except for meals and bed time.
Mike as I said before was on the equipment committee. He was up around 5:30 to get everyones gear put on the trucks and moved to the next location. Remember that was for over 400 youth and leaders. So there was tents, sleeping bags, pails(each persons supplies), and also to help with awnings and some kitchen equipment too.
I remember one night that the youth had a fireside where they did square dancing. It was awesome to see! 400 youth and leaders dancing around. I remember them practicing weeks before in my own ward. I wish I had my journal to write more but I have it packed away. I will make comments on pictures that I add. It was a wonderful week!
