Belen's India Fiesta! :-)

Oh, what a party! Belen and her friends had a fabulous time exploring the wonderful world of India. Their imaginations took them to Delhi, where they rode elephants, they celebrated Diwali and finally enjoyed the joys of throwing colors for Holi! Ok--I almost burned out my Cuisinart by making colored powdered sugar, but it was worth it. It was the highlight of the party. The girls all took home "goodie bags" full of candy, bangles and bindis. One of Belen's friends comments that she was still playing with her sari a couple of weeks later.

Gabriel At The Science Fair

This is the first year our elementary school held a science fair for fifth graders. Each student had to select their own experiment, provide a hypothesis, and show the results. Gabe chose to grow pea seedlings in various types of soil to prove which medium is most fertile.
