A chemistry experiment in process! AJ had a 'project' for this weekend - make a pizza and answer some questions about it (is pizza a mixture or solution, etc.) He got Dallas to help[ out, and the two of them made pizza pinwheels from scratch - including the dough. They ate the entire batch, so it must have been tasty (or else they were very hungry!) One problem....AJ was supposed to take his pizza to school! That little direction was left out of the written instructions, and he missed class that day to go to his soccer tournament in Quincy.
I was talking to one of my co-workers, who's son also goes to U-Prep, and she was describing him getting out of the car this morning, carrying his saxophone, his backpack, and his pizza, and trying not to drop anything. I asked her why he was carrying the pizza (as AJ and Dallas had eaten theirs)? We decided that the instruction to bring it in must have been in class and AJ missed that part. He did talk to the teacher, and Mr. Murphy was kind enough to remember that he didn't tell him to bring it in, so he shouldn't loose any points over it.
