Did You Ever Wonder...

...How long it takes to blow up 116 playground balls?  About 30 minutes for two people if you are able to borrow two air compressors from your dad.

...What it would be like to relax in a pile of playground balls?

…What 116 playground balls look like?



…How many stores you would need to visit to purchase 31 razor scooters of the same model?  Me too. Five and counting.

Halloween

Here is Captain America.


 Here are some scary trick-or-treaters.


 Funny, they seemed to tire of pictures.


Give us candy, or we'll send in the jester!


Science Hat Day

For Science Hat Day, each student is assigned a science word.  The student's parent student makes a hat demonstrating the assigned science word.  The kids parade their hats in the hallway at school.  TJ is wearing his "pond" hat and Paul is in his "density" hat.  

TJ's hat has grass, lily pads, dragonflies, a lizard and frogs on top, and fish, tadpoles, frog eggs, backswimmers, water scorpions and turtles swimming in the "water" flowing from the brim.

 Paul's hat has several materials of increasing density as you move down the hat: helium, air, styrofoam, cork, wood, water, aluminum, diamond and gold.

Ready for the parade!
