Little Picasso

Luke, as part of virtual learning, drew Frankenstein today!

Today Luke was told to draw his Halloween costume. He pulled out the package and drew it from the picture.

New Nike's For Brooke

Brooke needs black Nikes for volleyball. She had 2 recent growth spurts, so I measured her feet and ordered new ones online. They're too small. So now I need to order a size 9 for my (barely) 12-year-old girl.

When I was a kid I remember my mom telling me "people with big feet have a large understanding." She thought she was funny, I did not. I also didn't really understand the sentiment. I assume I would complain about MY big feet, and she would toss out this random, old proverb.

Now, despite the fact I neither found humor or comfort in my moms words ... I know exactly what I'll say the first time Brooke complains about HER big feet.

Luke's drawing seems to show some frustration :)

Guess We’re Both Virtual Learning

 

The difference between a 6th or 4th grader doing distance learning and a 1st grader doing distance learning is that you don’t have to sit though and mirror the actions of the older kids in order to get them to complete each thing on the daily checklist.  Today, part of “our” work was to watch two different draw a pig tutorial videos. This ties into the current reading of Charlottes Web. I guess I’m repeating 1st grade.

Brooke's Shout Out

Brooke was featured in the September "Cougar Times!"

Its not the first time she's been noticed for her design work, and the lab is definitely one of her favorite places at school.

Journaling

All Luke could do in his journal tonight is compain about all the work he had to do today. E-learning is HARD.
