Talk with the Preacher
What can you do with a crumpled ball of aluminum foil, a clump of different colors of modeling clay all smashed together and various treasures discovered in Dad’s tool box?
Sam discovered this week you can do a pretty fine job of constructing a 3D model of an insect for your 3rd grade science project.

With utter relief the whole family packed a very proud Sam and his 3D bee off to school this morning.
One more science project, done!
