I have been trying to get the school year finished up.   Bun's cyber school had thier Central Discovery Days with Science Fair last weekend in Harrisburg.  She did an experiment on filling bubbles with fog.  She used dry ice and adapted a plastic bucket and filled the soap bubbles with the fog resulting from the dry ice and warm water.  She took third place in her grade group. 

Over the summer we will work on her with the basic math fact memorization.  The plans for the OT fell through due to the end of the school year so she won't get that service until September when school starts again.  The OT will work on improving her short term memory to long term memory in an effort to help with the discalculia. 

We will be attending the SPAC conference in Pittsburg this summer again.  Statewide Parent Advisory Council---it is a three day learning conference for parents giving them ideas for working with thier children.  In the past I have attended classes on math games, study skills, bullying, getting parents invovled in thier children's schools, etc.  I always come away with lots of tips and ideas to do with Bun in her school work.  It is geared towards parents with  students in public schools but works out fine with her cyber homeschooling.

I would also love to get a house on the shore in Long Beach Island for a week with my niece and her family.  Bun wants to go to Williamsburg as she is reading the AMerican Girl stories, specifically Felicity.  But I think we will be visiting Williamsburg in the Fall with a stop at Mount Vernon and Monticello.

We have a two hens that have gone broody on the same nest.  When one hen gets up to eat the other hen jumps on the nest then the first hen comes back and stands there forlornly for a few hours.  It is really rather sad to see her standing there but she won't take to another nest.

Right now two other hens are squawking away as they have laid eggs and like to tell EVERYONE what they have accomplished. 

It's time to get ready for Church so I hope eveyrone has a blessed day!

Thank you for sharing what is happening. The hen thing sounds sad to me also. Is that a normal thing for hens to do, share a nest?
