1st Grader
Yeah, those are Roblox Guys in the background.
- He used a hammer (gasp) to crack open the geodes. We looked at the crystals.
- He did the Crystal Mining lab - which those really aren't crystals. He spent a looooong time on this. He is really enjoying learning about rocks right now. He found 14 rocks in the kit (which was great, because it said there were only 8). He stood on a chair at the kitchen sink and washed them all.
- Rock Tumbler - we put the stones in the rock tumbler and added course grit + water. We oiled the seal around the tumbler and turned it on. It's LOUD! I had to unplug it and carry it to my bathroom closet and shut the door. It needs to run for about 2 weeks and it's very loud.
- He has been carrying his library books about Rocks & Minerals around the house and looking at the pictures.
- Ballet class tonight.
9th and 11th Graders
- Stewardship/Personal Finance (11th grader). 9th grader skipped math today.
- Bible reading
- Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank)
- Hatchet (audiobook)
- English
- ACT Practice problem (boy, this angered the 11th grader, because she felt it was "duping" her. She's not used to standardized testing)
- Elements of Style
- We went through commas together on the dry erase board
- Creative Writing
- We used Grimm Writing Prompts. Each kid wrote a short story using the writing prompt. We read them aloud to each other. They were hilarious. I corrected a couple of writing mistakes, but there weren't many. They are very good writers!!
- Ballet class tonight.
