Today...



Grace has been in this position an awful lot lately... Delving into some project or other, working on her studies. It is kind of creepy, actually;) She worked on 5 subjects today, apart from getting her first water samples from her project pond and going on a meadow hike, complete with sketching! It was a rather interesting day, and she really had loads of fun!



Grace had the idea at snack today to make a "cell model" out of hosehold food ingredients. The bread crust is supposed to be the cell wall and membrane. The raisins are the Nucleus (wasn't big enough with just one...) The walnuts and the almonds are the rough and smooth endoplasmic retculum. The carrots are meant to be Golgi Bodies and the peanut butter is the cytoplasm. The pancake pieces are supposed to be lysosomes and the cranberies are the mitochondria. She ate her cell with "relish". ( I know...bad joke...runs in the family...)

I love the window by her desk. Her peanut butter one is cool. Ami once made one with a plastic bag, hair gel and various candies. Grace's is a cool edible project.
