Socially Distance Learning Blog

So I skipped yesterday, because basically all I did was Minecraft. In it I am creating a scavenger hunt with riddles and math and history facts for my sibling. That way I can play a video game as school work!😆 We also played a Kinect Adventure game on the old Xbox 360 (I know, it's ancient ) which is a game you have to move around for. It's pretty fun.

Socially distanced learning is going online with my actual teachers! So my school is going to be on the computer! Yay! I love my mom, who was making me do work, but I liked Mr B. and Ms C.'s teaching better. Sorry, mom! Friday was a PD day, so no work yay. Today mom let me and my sibling have a day off, because of school starting again virtually, so we played Minecraft, made a chocolate-peppermint cake but we had no peppermint so it was really just a chocolate cake. The recipe is below. We also did a Harry Potter escape room, which was fun.  As always, I still did my math, because I'm a nerd. Stuff from today: Visit the  Hogwarts Digital Escape Room  from a Youth Services Librarian at the  Peters Township Public Library We made Chocolate Peppermint Cake . Most of the recipes that we have made come from the Special Collector's Edition of Everyday Foods from 2007 (Holiday). We have been finding the links to the recipes so that you can make them too!

Hello! Today I joined the zoom meeting with Out Saskatoon and it was really fun and I enjoyed it. Other than that, I did some writing, some art, some math, and instrument.  I also reached checkpoint one and passed the test in Duolingo! Quite honestly, the test was really hard. But I did it! Yay! Other than that, I also baked a blueberry crumble cake with my sibling. It was quite good.  Here's a picture of it-  And the recipe-  https://www.marthastewart.com/355517/blueberry-crumb-cake

I'm sorry about not posting yesterday, I was really bored. I'm sure some of y'all feel the same. Nothing I did yesterday was noteworthy anyways. Today I tried to be more productive, I did some prodigy, worked on an English project we were doing at school, drew for an hour (art), did some Duolingo, took the dog for a walk and practiced Saxophone. Pretty good. Still kinda bored, but oh well, whatcha gonna do?

Hola! It is the start of the new week of staying in my house! Yay!  Cincinnati Zoo did cheetahs today, and I have a pun hehehe... Which animal do you not play poker with? The cheat-ah! Yeah I know, I'm hilarious. Moving on.... Here is the cake that we made on Friday- In case you're wondering, it wasn't as good as it looks.                                    It was even better.                                                                                  Yeah there's none left...haha...                                                                      We ate it all in the weekend. No regrets. Anyways, I did a lot of prodigy, Duolingo and a zoom meeting with my friends to chat at 3 o'clock. Zoom is super easy to use and it's convenient for talking to large groups. Buenos dias/noches! Adios! 

No 'school' today, hooray!  PD day today! For me, at least. My mom, determined to make sure we didn't go insane, let us have a well-deserved no work day. So instead, we binge watched some of our favourite TV shows and are currently baking a strawberry shortcake  (link for a basic vanilla cake). I still practiced Spanish, did my instrument and walked the dog, of course. Mom wouldn't let me skimp on those parts. We also cleaned up a bit... As part of a service project we went through our books and craft supplies and are going to donate them to whoever wants them. But most importantly my mom ordered books for us! She got me and my sibling four books ! We've almost finished them, haha. It's been a great day.
