CONGRATULATIONS are in order...

It's an exciting day here at The Siegel Files... The Boy won several awards duriing the May awards ceremony at school! One was Student of the Month for Language/Literature, another was Student of the Month in Science, and the last one -- the big surprise -- was that he took 3rd place in the Science Fair in the Physics category! WE HAZ PROUDZ! Plus, they gave the kids TROPHIES! WTF?! How awesome is THAT?!

For more info on his Science Fair project, look here!

Open House!

Tonight, we attended our first Open House at Ev's middle school.

It was just LOVELY! We got to see all his teachers, and look at all the great work he's done of late. As usual, we're just exceedingly proud of our little fella, and continue to be delighted with this wonderful school we chose for him. I could not possibly be more thrilled with the education he's getting.

All the Science Fair stuff was up in the cafeteria (you might recall Ev working on his a few weeks ago, as chronicled here) -- so neat to see what everyone's experiments were! One of the older kids had made a hovercraft and was giving people rides!

Science Fair!

The Boy has been workin' all weekend on his Science Fair project! It's related to balloons. And temperature. There is much balloon-popping going on, and data collection, and graph making! It's awesome and I'm glad @mrquizzical handles this stuff soz ah don't hafta.

I DID assist with balloon measurement for a time, as the boy's eardrums were takin' a beating from the really loud popping. And I helped shop for supplies like construction paper and glue sticks. So, y'know, I'm not *completely* useless. :-)
