Shadrach got a telescope for Christmas. He also got a microscope, binoculars, magnifying glass, and night vision goggles. I guess he really like to look at things up close and in the dark. It took me awhile to figure out how to work it. I have a lot of experience with microscopes, but I have never adjusted I telescope myself. It was fun. So far we have only looked at the moon. BUT the moon was/is cool. It was a really good time.
Shadrach is dead set on being a scientist and right now doesn't even entertain other ideas at all. When we first moved here to Ohio, they had several different activities that you could be in. I saw that one was Mad Science and put him in it. I could have put him into the Lego Club or Computer Club almost as easily. This one sounded more educational, so I picked it. I thought he would make some new friends and at the same time maybe learn something. Little did I know it would spark something inside of him. Now it is science every day, all day long. That was almost a year ago.
