Mt. Pleasant Classical Academy

No sleep for the weary here. This has been an ultra-busy week and month for us as ScienceKid finishes his preparation for National’s (National Science Olympiad) on this coming Saturday. Preparing meant that we Mom’s had to cart the kids to some meeting spot; sometimes at our home, sometimes at the partner’s home, sometimes at a local public school or church to use their floor or gym space. It also meant that we mom’s spent time gathering resources; college textbooks or finding subject tests on-line, or gathering wood and miscellanous other supplies so the kids could build their ‘build’ event. It has meant tons of running around Northern DE, and lots of stops at the gas station too, but it is well worth it. ScienceKid has learned about unit testing, system testing; the Laws of Physics and Murphy’s Law; he has dealt with sleep deprivation, and learned a bit about time management along the way.

Wish him luck please. He has put in tons of effort, rebuilt his three build events several times since State’s, and each time fully re-testing it before his creative juices kicked-in again, presenting him some new adjustment to his creation, that has allowed him to out-perform his previous design. I’m quite proud of the effort he has put forth, how he has prepared, and just hope now that all goes as planned.
