Extraordinary Extravaganza
by Kristen
The homeschool group had an event called the Iowa Homeschool Communication Extravaganza (that's a mouth full). All of our school aged kids participated in some way. Rex entered a poster on Trade Federation Tanks (which we later realized it should have been on Trade Federatinon Ships- but most people at the event probably didn't notice). Wayne did a poster on Spiders, which we did rename Cool Spiders- although the judge wondered what made them 'cool'. Nina did a working exhibit with a couple of friends where the girls had a table and kids would come up and the girls would tell them how to make slime. Their table ran concurrently with other tables of kids during a variety of things.
The kids were all judged on their work. A purple ribbon was outstanding, blue was above standard, red was meets standard and white was below standard. Rex got a red ribbon and Wayne and Nina both got a blue ribbon.
Unfortunately, I do not have pictures at this time. Tim and Rex left tonight for New Orleans (which I am sure will be a future blog) and took the camera before I could download the pics. The posters are currently hanging up in our house if you want to come see them.
