Science Fair

Ally and her friend, Leah, decided to enter in the school Science Fair.  They did a study on, "What is the Difference Between A Rock and A Dinosaur Fossil.  Leah is very interested in dinosaurs and it was great for Ally to learn about something different.  Ally is excited to visit the Tyrell Museum this summer and look at all the fossils now that she knows so much about them! 

Leah and Ally were chosen to show their project at the Mountainview Science Fair in February.

 

Grace's Story

(I was helping Ally write a story today when Grace decided she wanted to write a story as well.  Here is her story - in her own words, of course :)

The Candyland People

By Grace Van Orman

Once upon a time there was a fairy that loved to be a Candyland person.  She liked to fly around Candyland. And there was a princess who loved to walk around in the colors.  She loved the colors. And there was a gumdrop wizard. He took away the princesses favourite pink ice cream. Her Candyland unicorn friend grabbed it from him and gave it back to the Candyland princess. And there was a chocolate pudding hill. There were popscicles that the princess could fall over or trip on. She wanted to go sledding on it but she couldn’t because the Candyland supereaders picked out the popscicles so she could sled on the pudding hill and wouldn’t run into them.  So she went to the Rainbow King. The King told her not to eat the chocolate pudding because it had mud in it.  The superreaders saved the day by the fairy giving the princess the crown.

The End

New Years Resolutions

For Family Home Evening a few weeks ago, I had the girls fill this sheet. My plan is to put it in the front of a binder and, throughout the year, add various pictures they've drawn, things from school etc... At the end of the year, we'll be able to look back and see all they've accomplished.

Christmas Cont'd....

This was our Christmas card.   I had full intentions of getting one out to everyone but it just didn't happen.  I have a ton left over but handing out Christmas cards in January is kind of lame :)

In Ally's french immersion class, they wrote letters to Santa.  Some of the letters were published in the Olds Albertan newspaper.  This is Ally's.

Christmas Morning 2011

Grace emptied her stocking and immediately said, "I don't like any of this stuff!"  She soon changed her mind but I'll always wonder what prompted that response!

All it took to get Ally out of her Pj's was a sparkly new dress.

Santa brought Ally a makeup kit - what was he thinking?
