Carlie with her science project
Here she is explaining her project to one of the judges.
They were very impressed. Her category was thermochemistry and all I can tell you is that she had a luminol kit....it was very thorough and detailed.
This was the very first time we did anything with our local co-op. I've always had good intentions, but it just never worked out. I was sure to make plans for this, even though we already had to miss for the Capitol Day. Carlie really wanted to compete, and man did she bring it! She wasn't a bit intimidated by the other kids, and she didn't know a soul! The whole idea about homeschoolers being unsocialized is absolutely preposterous! My kids can interact, when they choose to. It is all of our rights to be selectively social. I'm trying to instill in them the balance and importance of the company that we keep and being kind to everyone. We are a work in progress.
I am thankful for the work ethic that Carlie possesses. She always puts her best foot forward and does strives for excellence.
Much Love,
Beth
