Home Learning Week 6 - Thanksgiving, Earthquake Kit, Soaring Eagle

Monday was no school - I went to John and Sharon's Thanksgiving. They are part of my mom's family - we go there every year: it's fun. We bring Chinese buns.

I like to play with Katie. There are lots of dogs there.

I volunteered sorting fabrics at OSF. OSF is a place that gets fabric from people who want to throw it away. This is old polyester. The red one is adorable. The Beatles wore clothes like this. The girls wanted to kiss them, right? Yes or no? Polyester makes you uncomfortable. 

We are making an earthquake kit. We'll use it if it's an earthquake. We need to buy energy bars and water. The radio tells you the news in an emergency; it works by winding it.

I don't think earthquake drills are scary, but it freaks me out if it's a real earthquake.

We got a face mask because we want to see if we can make the same one.

Lush smells good.

We put lipstick on each other for fun. I like make-up. I want to be a make-up artist - any kind of make up I want to do on people, and hopefully they will like what I made for them... makeovers and scary kinds. I like all kinds of make-up!

Bananas come from Gautemala. It says it on the bag. I don't know where Guatemala is. Is it in Mexico?

We caught 8 cm of water in one day. That's a lot, but I don't think it's very interesting. I'm used to the rain.

Carlo came over. He's my friend. We played soccer and made a potion. He got stung by a bee. He was like, "HA!"

Today was my first day of Soaring Eagle. I had a good time. We went outside and did stuff. I runned out of the forest 'cause it was dangerous. There was a tree that crashed a car!

I had some licorice plant: it was disgusting. You can eat it - it's a fern. You don't eat the leaves, you eat the stem. You can swallow it if you want to - it's kind of bad.

None of my rain gear is waterproof. I was freezing cold. Feel my hand. Feel it! My feet were wet, but I was fine with my new boots; they had a good grip.

I always enjoy myself.
