The picture above shows Nolan's leprechaun trap which was created around St. Patrick's Day (as you might guess). This took a lot of research and creativity, not to mention gold paint...as those stinkin' leprechaun's love mischief and are sneaky little buggers.
The photo above is from June 1st. The final research project of the year involved learning about kites and then constructing one. Of course, Nolan's has a weather twist, since he decided to add some ribbon every 10 feet along the string to see how high the kite is when flying. He learned from Mom and Dad, and the Internet that before weather balloons some places used weather kites to see how high the clouds were, and that the direction the ribbons blew indicated the wind direction along the string.
The kids will be presenting their kites to the class early this week, and then will get to try "flying" them on the last day of school, this Friday, June 6th.
