I am SO proud!

My 5th grade daughter has been super insanely busy recently.

1) - She had an Odyssey of the Mind competition on March 15. I coach the team which consists of her and 6 other girls. They won 2nd place!

2) - She had the Science Fair at her school yesterday. She won 1st place in the Behavioral & Social Sciences category, and gets to go on to the county competition. She did a project on teaching rats to go through a maze, and whether or not different rewards would make them learn faster. I've posted a few times on here about it. Due to tons of problems with how her teacher was handling the situation it was a huge headache for our family. But we still had fun with the actual experiment and I was impressed that my daughter's outlook on the project remained positive despite the negativity from her teacher. A HUGE THANKS TO BP.NET'S VERY OWN MEME FOR LOANING US THE RATS!!

3) - She has an Art Fair tomorrow. This isn't really anything she can "win". It is for the whole county and the art teachers are supposed to select a wide variety of outstanding artwork done by students of different grade levels. She made a sculpture of a snake that will be on display.

Also, as a sort of footnote to the Science Fair.... the other girls on my Odyssey of the Mind team did very well. Every single one of them won a prize except one who was a 3rd grader so she wasn't in the Science Fair at all... 3 firsts including my daughter, 2 thirds, and an honorable mention.

You are so welcome Casey!

I am happy to have been able to help!

And first place!!! My ratties are super genius! lol



and for your daughter not letting all the bs bum her out!

Awww congrats to your daughter and her very proud family! One of my daughters did a science fair project years ago involving our rats and it was quite involved (live animal rules) but she loved it too! That was so nice of you Meme to lend out some of your ratties.

awe thanks Jo!

I am actually excited to get to see them today!

Is that weird?!?!?

Congrats to you and your daughter! That's wonderful. I remember all the hassle you had getting the paperwork through. I'm glad it yielded such great results.

That was so sweet of Meme to help out like that as well!

you said I was sweet.
