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

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.

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!

Catching Up With Connie

Well, it is Connie's turn to do the blog again, and I know this segment is you guys favorite. Right? Yeah, I know. :-)

My mom is ordering me, oh I mean requesting, that I tell you about school. She says it is a school blog and school will be my subject today.

Math- I'm learning how to find the area of a cylinder. I'm doing fairly well, I'm doing fairly well in math in general.

Science- In science I'm going to the home school-school. It's the second semester and I'm having a lot of fun. The teacher is great. The students are cool. And the experiment are actually working. I'm learning a lot. The only thing is we have homework and there is a difference between doing science with friends and doing science it at home.

Literature- Literature is my favorite subject, always has and always will be. I love to read and I love to write and the program I am doing has both. I just read a bunch of poems and am about to read the Hobbit, which is exciting.

History- Is with mother and my sisters. We are doing ancient world and we are currently reading about Alexander the Great.

I think that sums up most of school. I do other things but they are boring and unimportant. I think I'm passing everything, Mom hasn't yelled at me in a while so I guess all is good.

Molly's Musings-January

hi. we had a big christmas. one of my favorite gifts was a new barbie. I really loved the latkes for Hanukkah. by molly

Dictated from Molly:

I love my new Polly Pocket toy. Mama built it for me. It is roller skating. I went to the zoo with my cousins the day after Christmas. It was really fun. We went to a movie before Christmas. It was called Arthur's Christmas. We went with Anay and her work. First we ate at McDonald's and it was funner because Alex came, too. After that we went to my Aunt's house to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah. We made crafts and little baggies for our mom's and dad's. After crafts we ate dinner. We had latkes and chicken fingers. On the first night of Hanukkah I got a groovy girl set. On the send night, I got a Hello Kitty water cooler for my room. Hanukkah is fun because every year we go to Aunt Lisa's house and we make dreidles by ourselves with candy. And we get a present for 8 days. And we light the candles. And we light candles for Advent, too.
