Animatronic peacock

This week Ellie was at science/innovator camp. They had a few projects that they worked on all week. One was a duct tape messenger bag, complete with Harry Potter decorations, and her other was an animatronic peacock. Using hydraulics, made from syringes, the head and tail move. Its pretty cool. The camp sent home pictures of her working on her projects.

Today was sprouts day for Calvin. He was waiting all week and insisted on wearing his tee ball uniform, sans cleats.

He also spent some time with the moveable alphabet. Apparently he wrote his first sentence, “I love jam.” And then asked his teacher what the question mark was for. She explained. And he wrote a question “how could you climb a building?” All by himself, no help from older friends or teachers.
