Today was National History Day. This was the day that Michaela and her partner from Quest (the gifted program) showed their exhibit at a history fair at UMSL. Their exhibit was about the history of clocks. This year the focus was on innovations in history. They did a really good job putting it all together.
This was Michaela's first year doing this. It was an interesting day. We got to see everyone's exhibits. But, they also have some entrants that put on performances and some that have made movies and show them. We got to watch a movie that two high school girls did on Forensic Science. It was really good. We saw a performance on the history of television that was humorous and done really well. Then, we saw a performance on Julia Child that was not so good.
Michaela and I ate lunch with her partner and her partner's grandfather. After lunch they posted the exhibits that made it to the next round. Michaela was crushed that they did not make it. But, they both have reason to be very proud. They did a great job and took the chance. They are already talking about next year, so it was a positive experience for them.
Caleb had a basketball game today. Michael was there with him. He made 5 baskets in his game today. I'm really proud of him. He's made A LOT of progress in the few weeks he's been playing. He's such a little jock!
Late afternoon and evening was quiet for us. We went to Applebee's for supper. Other than that we just hung around the house.
