Today was the start of the flour baby project in Science. For years in younger grades, we watched the 8th graders walk around with bags of sugar, flour, or potatoes for a week. In the past we have served as "babysitters" for the older grades, but now we finally got to have our own "babies." Yay...?We have to carry our 5-pound "babies" around for approximately the next week and get graded on its condition. This year, potato bags weren't allowed, and I chose a sugar bag because we were in need of sugar, and it was way cheaper. I named mine Melvin for no reason, just because. I made it―him―a nametag in Photoshop and put it on the front.
It's a kind of a drag to carry it around all the time because you have to hold on to it while you're doing anything or they'll take it away to "child protective services", aka Mr. Godfrey.
