On Monday morning, Chase made sure he had his $40 check and permission slip ready to turn in at school for his class field trip on Friday. They're going to take a tour of sights around Columbia, like the Palmieri cemetery, Rock City (Mr. K's storage and refrigeration area in the bluffs), Fort Chartres and other places. Chase says he's looking forward to it. Chase's ICS baseball game this afternoon was cancelled because the heat index was 109. Games are cancelled when the heat index is 105 or above. After school, Chase and Nanaw went to his house to get the guys. While they were there, Chase showed Nanaw the beginnings of his leaf project for science. He had four leaves under a piece of newspaper, topped off by a book. Chase told Nanaw about the project and that he had to get 16 more leaves. He had Nanaw download a leaf identifier app on her phone for him to use to identify the leaves that he found. They went back to Nanaw's house and Chase gathered up 16 leaves and identified them with the app. He said it was the most fun he'd had in a long time. He was very excited about the project. He set the 16 leaves up on Nanaw's dining room table like he had done for his at home -- newspaper and a book. The project is due Friday but Nanaw doesn't know exactly what he has to do. It seems like he would have to mount the leaves, identify them from the app, and write something about them. Nanaw will ask him tomorrow. It was a fun adventure; Nanaw went with him and watched him gather leaves and had a great time.
