Today was a good day. Why?  Because we had home-made chocolate pudding for breakfast. Why did we do that?  Because we wanted to do some Home Ec.  And we felt like chocolate.  I would definitely recommend baking since we're all stuck in an introvert's dream.   Since I'm learning Spanish, I challenged my Abuela (grandma) to learn it with me since she goes to Mexico regularly, so she might actually have a use for it! Do you remember Cincinnati Zoo? Today they did a live stream on sloths, and it was adorable. There was no quiz at the end, though. Not too sad about that. My sibling had to listen to a concert for 40 minutes, so HA HA back ground music. So convenient for me. Thanks, mom, for making them sit through that! Also, the typing game, Ztype, is very stressful when you can't type without looking. Stuff from today- Berliner Philarmoniker's is offering a 30-day voucher to listen to their Digital Concert Hall.

Hello 'tis my second day of these shenanigans. Today Prodigy stopped working so I only got like 10 to 20 questions done :( But I did get to do a lot of Duolingo and I think I'm getting the hang of Spanish :D "T ū  bebo agua" which translates  to "I drink water". Nice, eh? I also Facetimed with my grandma to ask her some questions about her experience when she went to The Great Wall Of China. Plus, of course, some band, physical activity (bleh), and typing. And this thing called Cincinnati zoo live stream. It was on hippos. Basically it was a 20-ish minute video on hippos with a small test at the end. Only thing was that it was on Facebook (used my mom's account, alternative directions below) and to do the small test you needed to enter your email (for a contest). Stuff from today: Look for  Cincinnati Zoo Live Stream on Facebook or check out this news article to watch a video on Fiona and Bibi from March 17, 2010.  Take the quiz once you w...

Facebook shut down my mom because she kept on posting  helpful links to websites for learning purposes but they thought she was spamming so here we are!  (she just  had to help so she put these up here instead) Yeah well here are some free links to education resources.

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...
