I am finally getting around to downloading Micah's fair pictures. He did well for his first fair with 5 blue ribbons and 1 red. We are really looking forward to next year, when Rachel joins him in 4-H!
An originally designed lego project, a Star Wars ship...
Read-A-Book, where the clubber reads 6 books and then designs a bookmark based on a scene or character in one of the books. Micah's was well-done (yes, this is mom talking). He chose a scene from The Lord of the Rings. Ask him sometime to show it to you.
Outdoor Adventures was a fun project to put together. He chose pictures from our 1 hour hike and put them together in a poster, identifying animal tracks, dragonflies, and other interesting items. The judge was particularly impressed with his picture of Josiah's feet right next to one of his identified objects. "Your little brother was awfully brave to get that close to the snake eggs!" (Black poster just above his head.)
Micah's scrapbook was the only red ribbon. There seems to be some kind of scrapbooking craze that has been passed down from moms to their 8 to 12-year-olds (mostly girls!)
A ceramics project completed at a birthday party...embellished with a picture of a dragon, of course.
Both kids are dreaming of next year's projects, and this one seems to have made both of their lists. Rocketry...
