Proud Mama

The picture is of JR with his science project board. He participated in the school science fair. I let him pick his project and let him be in charge of most of the work. As you can see from the title, he wanted to see which flower would grow the fastest. He picked out the seeds: sunflower, petunia, and poppy seed. He put the dirt in the cups, planted the seeds, helped me water them every day, and took notes in his notebook every day. When the data was collected, he put the data from his notebook in a chart and then graphed it, I let him type up info for the poster on my computer, and we colored the title and glued things on to the poster board. I was proud that he did all that work and it paid off. He won second place in the science fair. I am very proud.

To top it off, two days later he received an award at school for being respectful and then this weekend made a great rebound and two baskets at his basketball game. His certificate for his award at school included a coupon to go out to dinner so we went out to dinner to celebrate.
