Jeff's school year

Jeff is doing an awesome job in school this year. His overall average for the year so far is a 93 with the highest grade of a 98 in math and the lowest of 88 in science. He was selected to be on the math committee in his class. Four out of 22 students were selected to create math activities and math problems for the class to solve. They will present these to the class on PowerPoint in a few weeks.

A few weeks back he learned about inherited traits and had to complete a project explaining dominant and recessive traits and give examples of those on PowerPoint as well. Thankfully Shane knows how to use that program and was able to give him a few tips on how to create a presentation. It amazes me that kids are so computer savvy these days....we did not start using a computer until 7th grade! Jeff has been using a computer since preschool. Wow I feel old! :)

The 3rd grade field trip this year is to the UT Astronomy building. Jeff is looking forward to that. Not sure if it's looking forward to getting to leave school or to learn about astronomy but either way he will have fun.
