Weekly Recap: January 14-18, 2013

We were clicking on all cylinders this week until Thursday when everyone woke up with head colds.  Thursday was a quiet, sickish day, and everyone went to bed early.  Today, we are heading to Indiana.  Everyone seems to be feeling better.  We are still sporting runny noses and drainage coughs but no fevers, green snot, or vomitting.  I will take what I can get.

Here are the highs and lows of our week.

H13
High - Finishing Analytical Grammar.  I really enjoyed it, and I feel like I learned something.

Low - Getting spacers in preparation for braces.  My teeth are killing me.  I can't eat anything solid.

S10 High - Grammar.  I wrote a poem I really liked. (It's included below.)
Low - Math, even though I did well on my fractions test.  What kids like math?  (M8 wants to let you know that a lot of kids like math.)

M8
High - Finishing Betsy-Tacy and Tib.  Math! It's my favorite subject.  I love my grammar test.  I got an A++.

Low - History.  I don't like the lessons.

Me High - Roller skating with co-op.  Finishing the entire Analytical Grammar curriculum with H13.
Low - Latin and science.  I have got to get a grip on these subjects! I could also add art and music to the list, but we won't even go there.

A Winter Friend

by Shane Johnson

One day, as I played in the snow,

I met a strange little fellow.

I took him home.

I woke up alone,

And in my bed there was yellow.
