Language Arts: Kennedy and Kingston presented their playground design to the family. Kennedy wrote a song. Kennedy says, "I read a book called Bed Knobs and Broomsticks. It's about these three kids and the lady called Miss Price. She's a witch in training. She puts a spell on a bed knob and if you turn it and you wish where the bed would go, it would go to that place. My favorite place that they went was London, England to see their mother." Kingston says, "We read Narnia. They are in a castle. And somebody gave Marsh-Wiggle some alcohol and he turned into a big spider."
Math: Kennedy calculated her cost to make hot chocolate and lemonade. Kennedy says, "We went to the store and got prices for the stuff we needed for my lemonade and hot cocoa stand. Then we added it up on a paper." Kingston says, "Ten is six blacks and four reds. Nine blue and one red is ten because nine, ten."
Social Studies: We read Story of the World about China. We read about three pointless wars in Europe. Kennedy says, "There's three useless wars: the King Williams' War, the Queen Anne's War, and King George's War. They were just fighting because they were angry at each other, so it was useless. Spain and England and France were fighting each other."
Science: Kennedy and Kingston learned about shadows. Kennedy says, "Where the light is, the shadows are on the opposite wall. It's like a giant me." We watched Mystery Doug and learned why cats purr. Kingston says, "I think they purr because they are cold. It's trying to tell you something. Mystery Doug said it's when they like something. Cheetahs can purr."
Tech/Trep: Kingston built a train track. Kennedy and Kingston designed playgrounds. Kennedy worked on her lemonade/hot chocolate business idea. She says, "I am planning to have a lemonade stand in the spring and summer and a hot chocolate stand in the fall and winter. I am trying to make some money but I don't know what I'm going to use the money for. I learned that its not that easy to run a business. I thought it would be really easy but no." Kingston says, "I made like a circle (train track) that goes flat and then around and back up. I'm building a pattern car."
Elective: Kennedy and Kingston "skated" on ice in our driveway and went sledding. We did an online art class on teachable. Kingston says, "Her showed us a picture. It looked like you could actually reach out and touch it. It was 3D." Kennedy says, "I learned that shapes are flat. I learned that value has height, length, and depth. And I learned that if you are drawing a sphere that has a light source on it, you draw lighter where the light source is and darker where it isn't." They went ice skating on an outdoor rink in Rigby. We did a virtual tour of the Frick Museum and looked at some cool paintings and sculptures. We did the Engineering Webquest. Kennedy says, "I learned that it doesn't matter if you're young or old, you can be an engineer. There are 7 steps to engineering. You have to find a problem to solve and then you design it, then you test it. And then you ask questions to see why it didn't work or why it did work." Kingston says, "There are seven steps in engineering. I wanted to do the airplane to see how fast it goes on the zipline."
