We got word last week after Bush's science fair that Karianna was selected to move on to the district science fair to represent 4th grade and Bush! We were so, so, so tickled to hear that-I didn't even know MPS did a district science fair! What a cool and amazing accomplishment for Karianna, we are so proud of her!
We set up her science fair project today at Red Mountain. It was funny to walk my old campus! This is the first year 4th graders were allowed to qualify for the district science fair, and with a 4-12 crowd, Karianna was definitely the smallest kiddo! The lady sitting next to me asked me if she was in 7th grade....really???? Her display board looked really impressive even next to the junior high/high school presentations-you could tell she was pleased with how it looked!
Karianna was one of the first to be judged. I sat back in my little corner and completely let her take the reigns-this is such a good exprience for Karianna, to respond to an interviewer who is judging her work! From what I could hear, she explained her project from the problem all the way to her conclusions. The judge asked her several questions that I didn't quiet hear, however Karianna was calm, enthusiastic, and positive while answering; in several moments, she referred to the graphs on her board and picked up the pictures or indicated the jars of balls. I was so proud of her, she seemed so sure of herself, and that's a big deal for Karianna!
The lady with the long hair is the judge-at this point, Karianna was done talking and the judge was reading her board.
We will find out tomorrow if Karianna needs to go to the awards ceremony on Saturday. We are not expecting anything, and that's okay-the experience of even being selected for the district fair, and representing Bush along with only a few other students was just very special, and we are so proud of Karianna!
