This past weekend was birthday celebrating for Little Miss M. She had her friends over on Saturday for a Cupcake Wars party. Little Miss loves that TV show. If you have not seen it, it involves baking some unusual cupcakes that look and taste good. Since I was not about to have 6 girls whipping up unique cupcakes in my one oven kitchen I modified the idea. We baked all the cupcakes ahead of time and then for the party I put out all kinds of things to decorate with and different colored frosting. It was a processed food extravaganza. Giant marshmallows, mini-marshmallows, sno-caps, chocolate chips, M & M's, writing icing, sprinkles, and sugar stars. The girls had a lot of fun and Mr. B was the judge. Sunday we had family over to celebrate. More cupcakes and fun with great grandparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Needless to say, after all the sugar today was not the smoothest school day of the year. But it did happen. It just took a bit longer.
Little Miss:
Math:Continuing to work with reducing fractions.
Grammar: Pronouns
Science: Chapter test. She received a 90. She has not quite mastered writing the complete answer. For example: What do the turtles need to survive? A pond with a soft, muddy bottom. The missing part: Sufficient food, and basking places.
History: The liberation of South America.
Mister B:
Math: Dividing with decimals and review of finding the area of a rectangle.
Grammar: Diagramming sentences
Science: Continued work with his sundial
History: The Mayflower Compact and how it relates to Democracy
Tomorrow is a new day.
