When Elise and her partner were each awarded a blue ribbon it was a beautiful moment marred only by the spectacle of Julie rushing the stage and trying to wrestle one of the blue ribbons away from the girls shouting that this stinking blue ribbon belonged to her, dog-gone-it. She earned it! She shouted something incoherent about having invested more time in this stickin’ project than both of those girls combined. The whole tussle lasted less than a minute and security quickly had the situation under control.
The sixth-graders in my middle school were also assigned science projects. My eighth-graders including Annika all did math projects and displays. Annika and her partner Flo took sixth place overall for the eighth grade.
