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 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.

Day 6 & 7 Bored bored bored

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?
