My daughter has a science project to do and I've been designated assistant. Anyone have any good/fun ideas that could be done involving swimming. If I can incorporate me swimming into a science project, I will get double mileage out of time I will spend swimming anyhow. Anyone have any thoughts?

  • Ten is fourth grade these days? Ten has been fourth grade since at least the 70s. Remember, it is February. With age cutoffs, kids are entering Kindergarden age 5 (which is normal, but then they're aging up right away. For example: a kid with a Dec birthday has to wait until he/she is "5" to enter Kindergarden. They won't take him as a 4 3/4 y/o because of the "4," so he enters school as a 5 3/4 y/o kndergardner and turns 6 three months later. Thus, he began school this year as a 9 3/4 y/o 4th grader, and then "aged up" during the year. I don't have Stud's kids' birthday's memorized, but chances are something like that is the case. Kids are a lot older these days than when I went to school. My elementary school cutoff was December 1 and I know we had SEVERAL kids with birthdays around then. They were always the last to turn whatever age the rest of us were. Now, its September 1.
