FINALLY!!!

Addie is in an advanced class in Junior High and in this class they have a History Fair every year. This is a HUGE part of their grade and a HUGE project. This year the subject was "Innovations in History" the students get to choose their topic get it approved and then start working. Addie decided that she wanted to do Water slides, there is a gentlemen in our ward that works for a company that designs them for parks outside of the US. Great! he is going to be able to give us lots of information and this is going to be great. NOT!!! there isn't a library in Utah that carries anything on Water slides, the guy had nothing to give us. The Internet wasn't very helpful either. Addie spend hours upon hours searching for information to put in a bibliography, resources etc. More than half way through the teacher suggested that she change subjects. Are you kidding me? No way are we starting over again. Addie just kept plugging along, she kept searching and searching for more and more information, she emailed the Library of Congress and they sent her information. Along with the project they have to write a 1500 word essay, then they get to choose either a display board, documentary, play or write a 2500 word paper (instead of the 1500 word paper). We decided to do the display board. Now, this board has to be 6 feet tall, 40 inches wide and 30 inches deep. With lots of information etc. all over the board. The student has to do it by themselves, parents can only help with the cutting of the wood, they have to be able to assemble it by themselves. This is the most amazing project yet. Addie was carring it through the school and literally had people stopping and saying WOW!!! This project has running water, the whole works. The teacher was way impressed on the project. She had Addie set it up during first period and by the time Addie got to class for 2nd period the kids had already plugged it in to watch the water. Infact one of the kids said WOW! I have some stiff compitition. We are so proud of her. She did it all by herself, except for cutting the wood. She painted it, put it together everything. She received 100% on the project. Boy are we glad that it is over. The poor kid worked on that every night for months. We are just now waiting for State and then we see if she makes it past that. Way to go ADDIE! Then this week we got a letter from the Principle that she was student of the day, and what and example she is to the school and what a hard workier she is. She is the best. (I turned the camera so that you could see the whole board and it messed up the picuture if you can just turn your head so sorry)
