Immediately following the performances by the winners of the Poetry Festival, the academic fair commenced! This was our first year at NLA, but we had heard quite a bit about what a big deal the academic fair is. And it took quite a bit of preparation.
The 3rd graders all picked a famous person to study and do a report on. This was Wyatt's first official report--complete with compiling sources, taking notes and writing the full report. He picked Henry Ford as his top choice (sticking with his love of cars) and made a board game with trivia questions for the academic fair. It was a great learning experience and definitely wasn't easy, but that's where we learn the most, right?!
(He designed the game to look like a road and even painted the wooden cars for the game pieces.)
His friends (Nate, Jack and Hunter) learning a bit more about Henry Ford.
Sadie's class had been studying the Ukraine for the past month, so each student built a typical Ukranian house to be displayed. (Sadie's teacher, Mrs. Erickson, also asked Sadie to wear a traditional Ukranian headdress that some Ukranian friends of Mrs. Erickson's sent)
