Day 1 of my socially distance learning journey


Hi! Welcome to my life of being quarantined/lock downed/social distanced but still having to do school work because nothing is more important than education, right? Yeah, okay. So first day, motivation is small, but we're all good, so I did some jot notes on the Great Wall of China, watched a video on it, did a virtual field trip of it, (both of which are underneath), did some unrelated English (Dreamscape) and Math (Prodigy). AND guess what? It's only lunch. My afternoon plan is practicing my instrument (band), learning how to crochet (life skills), walking the dog (physical education), learning Spanish on Duolingo, then a typing course. Ha...
What fun this is.

Day 10 School is going online!

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!

Day 13 & 14 First day of school

So school started again! We did some basic English today and will be working on math and science later on. This is via google classroom and zoom, which is saving our lives. My sibling did the scavenger hunt riddle math thing that I did in Minecraft and enjoyed it, so I'm happy about that. I also talked to one of my friends this morning for half an hour. I did a Kahoot with the Rainbow PYY and came in second! That was really fun and I liked it.  But anyways, hope y'all are staying safe and enjoying life! Yesterday we made brownies, again from our favourite special edition of Everyday Foods from Martha Stewart.  Here is the recipe if you are interested in trying it.
