Tara has been doing an experiment for science, and has been investigating the effect of healthy and unhealthy breakfast on school performance.
She has measured the number of character tickets, compliments and stickers (which all reward good behaviour) and also her daily math grades.
It was one of those projects where the teacher requested parental help (ie we got to do it!). We
had to produce graphs, and state the independent and dependent variables, and the control-( I don't remember any of that from when I was 10)- and paste everything on to a desk-top display board.
So, the results are now in:
Her math grades went UP when she ate the POP TARTS!!
BUT, she got more awards for character when she ate the Raisin Bran....
Now we have to decide if we want a kid who is smart in math, or one with great character.....

the answer is pop tarts and raisin bran surely - bigger breakfast!!
Hmm getting bored with this blogsite, nothing happening at all and the last entry was a discussion about breakfasts! Our family nearly bought a special machine to make fresh porridge flakes from oatgrains today and my brother is sourcing some wolfberries for Debbie - they are supernutrients!!
I changed the template tho- and added some more details.....
