Science Fair and Violins

Azia participated in her first Science Fair. Actually, they didn't have a choice. Her teacher thought it would be good for the entire class to participate so Azia and her friend chose to do a research project on some of the world's most amazing archeticural structures. They both researched 4 structures and then did a mini report on each using the 5 W's as their guideline. They were not formally judged, but did have to present to the judges. They received very positive comments and gave us all a good idea of what we can do next year!

Emmy and Azia also had their first violin concert this month. They have only been playing the violin since October. It is one lesson a week at lunch time for about a 1/2 hour. It is really amazing how much they have learned in such a short period of time. Both of the girls performed their solos amazingly well. (In my opinion, I thought they were the best out of the group...but that is only my opinion.) They both had a crisp, clean sound and they both played in tune! (This truly is a feat for beginner violinists!) Their versions of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in mississippi hotdog rythm was SPECTACULAR! I hope they will choose to continue taking violin lessons because I really do think there is some great potential there!
