Day 9

Surprise! Math was the only subject done at the table. Dad is so funny. His favorite thing to do for school is to review. He reviewed measuring with Sam and Sarah. They talked about the metric side of the ruler. I don't know how much they remember about metrics, but I have always had  trouble remembering them. I didn't really start to remember and understand them until I worked with them in Chemistry. (I took Chemistry last year.)

Sarah was excited because she took a test in her Physical science book and actually got the answers right for the questions with some math in them. She has been worried about not understanding parts per million (which I pretty much forget myself), but she got all of them right on the test. She was so happy!

I think Dad's favorite word is "free." He and Mom came up with this thing a couple of years ago. All of us sit down and, for half and hour, we study. We read encyclopedia, science books, any kind of informational reference book. At the end we don't have to tell them about it, or write about it, we just read it. Well, this time, we did our "free study," and then we "free wrote" about our "free study." It was fun! And even though we don't have to tell them about what we read, there is always something that was interesting to us, and that we want to share with them.

After school we went over to our grandparents and picked up some peaches that they had picked up for us. These peaches are picked in Georgia, put in a truck, and then driven to different locations where people buy them right out of the truck. They are so juicy and fresh! We made a peach cobbler with them for dinner. The peaches were so tender and mild in it. It was really yummy!

After dinner we went to the retreat where Mom is. They said that all of the families could come to line dance, and have a bon fire. There was not time for a bon fire, but the line dancing was really fun! It was nice to go and do it with Mom since we haven't seen her much the last two days.

It was fun writing this, but Mom will be back with you on Monday. Have a great weekend!
