Field Trip! ASU Polytechnic S.T.E.M. Re-Cap, September 30, 2013

Hi all! I had so much fun at a homeschool S.T.E.M. field trip (which stands for science, technology, engineering and math). I am going to tell you what we did!
First, we arrived there and noticed how little people attend the school! I loved the simplicity of the campus and the fact that people rode their skateboards around!
Next, we attended a short speech about the college and how S.T.E.M. is a good field. I love math and science so maybe my career will involve it. We then saw that some of our friends were there and we got name tags. We stayed doing projects with them the rest of the day. We headed off to one of the three choices for projects.... building a marble slide drop with pipes and wood. We tried to make it go down as slow as possible and left it there for some other team to build on.
Our second project was a paper car with paper wheels pulled by a balloon that was attached to a straw. Our's didn't go fastest, but we saw where we went wrong.
Our last project was making a paper roller coaster for marbles. One of the college student demonstrators  had made a huge one, and it was amazing!
Last we went to eat lunch at the huge buffet. You paid $8 and got any type of food in any amount you wanted. When I mean any type, I'm saying they had Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, American and dessert food!
I had SO much fun, and below are some photos!

My Review of New Disney Movie Frozen

❅❅☃❆
New Disney movie Frozen that came out 11/27/13 receives 5 stars from me! 
This movie is about sisters Anna & Elsa. Elsa is the Snow Queen and Anna is just a regular girl. One day the girls were playing in their castle home (their mom and dad are the queen and king of Arrendale), and Elsa accidentally doesn't put snow padding underneath Anna when she jumps and Anna is hurt and has to be healed. Then Elsa and Anna's sisterhood is never the same because Elsa must not talk or see people because of her growing, dangerous powers.   
One day, their parents have to go to sea but there ship sinks and they are killed. That leaves Elsa to be the new queen. 
At the Coronation (crowning), Anna meets a man named Prince Hans and they fall in love. She is proposed to that night. Anna asks Elsa to bless the marriage, Elsa won't, and when her emotions are tested she accidentally freezes the water around the castle and makes it snow, even though it's summer. Elsa runs away. 
The main part of the story features Kristoff, who is a man who sells ice, and his reindeer Sven. They meet Anna as she looks to find her sister on the snowy mountains. Also, Olaf (a living snowman) goes on the search for Elsa with them. 
I don't wan't to spoil the end, but let's just say the girls have to work together and this story is really about family.

5 stars from me! 
This is a wonderful movie, you should see it!
