Back with Belle

Hello. It is, I, Belle! I don't have a topic for this week but I do have a lot of stuff going on, so that's what I'll talk about.

Sports- I am finishing up basketball season right now which is a bummer. But I am starting softball. Which, of course, is exciting.

Reading- I am reading a really good book my mom recommended. The Host by Stephanie Meyers. She loved it and wanted us to read it so she could talk about it.

Homeschool School- At the homeschool school I am taking a drama class with Beth Mappes. She is a great teacher and an awesome actor! I love the class and the school and hope to take more next year.

Family- My family is sometimes hard to deal with. Having four siblings fighting for attention is not easy. My mom deals with it calmly (sometimes). Bram is a piece of work! Boy, he never stops talking and never stops moving!!! He's crazy! When someone yells at him he walks upstairs and says he is going to his room. Lucy and Molly are no better. They are just as crazy as he is. Oh and Connie, don't get me started on Connie. I love her to death, but sometimes all I want to do is rip her head off!!! I guess they are all mad because I am the best. :-) I love my family, but sometimes they are a pain in behind.

Friends- Grace is coming over on Friday for OAKS (something at my church that my mom is in charge of. We help her out). I am so excited. We haven't seen her in awhile. And we have some catching up to do!

Well, I ran out of subjects so I guess my blog is over. Thanks for listening. See you next time on Back with Belle :D!

Catching Up with Connie-February

Today is Ash Wednesday, so no meat today and no snacks and my Lenten Goals begin. My goals include-

Reading a book a week

Not complaining about school (I have already drastically failed but I'm going to try again tomorrow)

Mom also has some things for the family to do, but with those I just nod my head, smile and say the 2 magic words, "Yes Ma'am."

School is okay. Nothing much has happened since my last time.

I'm in a play. I'm John in the Passion of Jesus.

I'm not playing softball this season, but instead, I'm playing indoor soccer. Basketball is almost done which is sad, because it is my last season playing at the church.

Life is good in general.

I have no idea what to write because I'm what you could call, "cranky" so I'm not talking to any one. And the effect is I don't know what she wants on the blog. But I'm going to leave this up and hope I don't have to re-write any thing

Musings from Molly- February

I am working on subtracting in math.

Dictated by Molly: In Phonics I'm reading a chapter book called Detective Dog Goes on Vacation. I am working on memorizing my poems and my Catechism questions. I am learning about rocks in science. My favorite thing to do is reading comprehension and test prep, where I have a page to read or look at a picture and then answer questions. My least favorite thing to do is math. That's my hardest thing and it takes a long time. I wish we were learning about ice cream because it's so good, and we could try different kinds. I also don't like working on money because it's boring and totally not cool, man.

Living with Lucy- February

This is what i am doing.

math- factoring

science- rocks and dirt

history- Rome

spelling

test prep

little house on the prairie

religion-catechisms and bible stories

Back with Belle :D

Hello everyone. I am here for the same reason Connie was, to tell you about my school work. Won't that be fun.

In math I am learning about decimals. I finished fractions last year and now I am doing decimals.

In science I am learning about animals and soon......humans! Don don don! (I think that's scary music-Aimee) And the reproductive system. What fun!!!

In literature I just finished reading Helen Keller's autobiography. And now I am working on some things that have to do with Helen Keller.

In religion I am reading Mark in the Bible and learning about St. Francis.

In history I am learning about the Americas and soon the Romans. Julius Cesar and such.

In German I am learning things like the, you, he, she, it, and verbs.

I'm having lots of fun in school. My mom is an excellent teacher. (I didn't make her write that-Aimee)

Well, I've got to go!

Thanks for listening. See you next time on Back with Belle :D!
