Kindergartener
Today was a typical day with math, reading and handwriting. We studied shadows and the moon from our Five in a Row Owl Moon unit study.

Agar/Bacterial Culture Lab
13 year-old and 15 year-old did 10 agar streak plates using sterile cotton swabs. They collected bacterial samples from different locations, transferred the bacteria onto the Petri dishes and then we placed the plates in a warm location. Samples were taken from places like dog's paw, inside/outside of worn medical mask, cat's paw, dog bone, aquarium water, headphones, laptop keyboard, etc. On Friday, we're going to take a look at the streak plates and see if there is bacterial growth. I'm hoping to get the microscope out and take a look at some of the colonies. Hoping there is also fungus or mold.
15 Year-Old
- Algebra 2 Honors Page
- Wordsmith - outlining, which she's a bit offended by. The writing is too easy for her. I may have to drop Wordsmith and try to plan for something else for writing.
- Huckleberry Finn
- Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
- Apologia Biology - reading about bacterial colonies
- Agar/Bacterial Culture Lab
- German with me
- Mapping the World with Art - North America
I talked to her about dropping government and music appreciation and she said not to touch her curriculum line-up. She said she likes all of it.

I'm going to do some Bible reading outside on the front porch while I take the kids outside to play.
