I'm the 2nd J Boy of 4. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Fri, 7 Dec 2007 12:32:00 -0600 Fri, 7 Dec 2007 12:32:00 -0600 I've been wanting to blog again for awhile.  I've been playing a game on the computer.  It's going to be Christmas in 18 days and I can't wait.  Tomorrow I get to be in the Christmas parade.  Check out my brother's blog - J1of4 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/440569/ Fri, 7 Dec 2007 12:32:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/440569/ I didn't have to do math today because I'm still ahead - but I will have to do it tomorrow.  After lunch we are going to do our science.  This morning I listened to the Bible, listened to "Island of the Blue Dolphins" and did reading.  I got 10 new flashcard words to work on and a new story to read.  When I can get my 10 flashcard words perfect, my mom will take me to a toy store to look at toys! Here is what I remembered from "Island of the Blue Dolphins": 9.4.07 The Indian girl went to a different cave for 5 nights and 4 days.  The wild dogs came and she killed 3 of them with her arrows.  She went out to the canoe to sail to the other Island – where the leader went before.  But the canoe was leaking.  One big leak and one little leak.  Then she saw dolphins.  It made her happy.  http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/384962/ Tue, 4 Sep 2007 12:23:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/384962/ Mom's Jamoca Oreo and J2's rainbow sherbet.  (if you need to know why mom needed a reward - go here!) J2 told me exactly how to set up this shot - he was immensely tickled with how it turned out! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/382637/ Thu, 30 Aug 2007 16:29:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/382637/ I DID IT! I DID IT!  Mom told me when I could read my ten word flashcards without hesitation and without mistake - then she would take me for ice cream.  Well, I DID IT!! Baskin & Robbins - here I come!! Island of the Blue Dolphins: The girl was looking out to the Sea; she was waiting for the ship.  She dug up the chest and wore the jewelry that was in it.  Then she threw it in the sea because she got mad about it.  She made weapons – bow and arrows, spears, a little knife.  The wild dogs were watching her and she was afraid they would attack her so she kept the weapons with her wherever she goes. Below are some pictures after I got all my words right! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/382444/ Thu, 30 Aug 2007 12:03:01 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/382444/ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/382441/ Thu, 30 Aug 2007 12:03:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/382441/ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/382439/ Thu, 30 Aug 2007 12:02:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/382439/ I did math.  I listened to the Bible and history "Island of the Blue Dolphins".  I worked on my flashcards and wrote some sentences Mom read to me. Here is what I said about "Island of the Blue Dolphins": They stayed in a cave. In the morning, they went back to the camp.  Wild dogs had eaten all the food that was left in the camp.  The little brother wanted to go get the canoe from where it was hidden.  She told him he was too little.  She woke up and the little brother was gone.  After waiting most of the day, she went to look for him.  She found him.  The wild dogs were circling his body.  He was dead.  His spear was in the body of one of the dogs he killed.  She wanted revenge.  She had a plan to kill all the dogs. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/381892/ Wed, 29 Aug 2007 14:20:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/381892/ I'm having a bad day. Today was hard.  Science - heard about space and stars, NASA Math - counted money and made change Bible - listened Reading - Read my story.  I don't want to talk about the reading History - listened to the story: The Indians were packing their belonging to go on the boat.  They had to be quick because of the wind – the ship needed to go and if they did not hurry – they would miss it.  After she got on the boat, she could not find her brother.  He was still on the shore.  The captain said we’ll have to come back for him.  She jumped off the boat.  She had to drop her things so she could swim.  She joined her brother on the shore. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/381186/ Tue, 28 Aug 2007 14:00:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/381186/ Mom here - poor J2 is on the couch.  Seems to have some sort of stomach flu.  :(  Hoping that after lunch he'll be up for a bit of schoolwork.  LOL  I did want to share about last Thursday and Friday.  Fridays are our flex days - Chapel in Dixon at Dad's school, gymnastics in Davis and, hopefully, some visits with friends.  Last Friday I went to meet my bosses and J2 spent the time with our friends.  They had a great time!  Thursday was school as usual, but I was too busy with work to update his blog.  So, we missed out on his rendition of school - but he did a great job narrating the book "Island of the Blue Dolphins" that we are listening to for History: 8.23.07 The Indians chose a new chief.  People were watching for the chief to come back to the Island.  One of the men, watching on the cliffs, spotted a ship.  He ran to the village and woke everyone up.  Everyone was getting ready to go.  There wasn’t a red sail on the ship.  It was a white sail.  The people were good and they were going to take them to a different island.  But no one knew where they were going. Hopefully J2 will start feeling better later today!! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/380451/ Mon, 27 Aug 2007 10:54:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/380451/ We got a call from a friend of ours today who told us there are MORE Wildcams on the National Geographic Magazine website than just the Africa one!!  Yeah!! So, if you want to see... Elephant Seals Grizzly Bears Bald Eagles Polar Bears Cranes and animals in Australia then you need to head on over there! We'd love to see more - does anyone have any SAFE links of other animals cams?  Especially ants or other insects? http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/377122/ Tue, 21 Aug 2007 12:53:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/j2of4/377122/
