1st Week Back

Hey everyone! It's the first week of school since Christmas Break! I have to say I was not looking forward to coming back to school at all. But it was an easier week than I had thought. I've been waking up around 9 and finishing by about 1-2 for the most part. Plus, it's Friday! I am very excited to stay up and have a tiny break, ha ha!

In school this week, I've started poetry again, so why don't I share my poem with you?

Paper, meet the Pencil Tip.
Pencil, see the Paper flip.
If you mark in the wrong place,
Pencil's friend will soon erase.
Day or night,
Draw or write,
In Pencil and Paper, you will delight.

I wanted my poem to prove that you can write about anything, even a pencil touching the paper. If you have an eye for detail, poetry is a piece of cake! Ha ha!

Next up is science. I only had this subject one day this week! It was a project. I had Baby help me. We went outside and collected leaves. Next we put the individual leaves between pieces of paper. After this, we put heavy books on top, each leaf with a different weight on it. We'll leave these for one week, and when we come back, there should be imprints of leaves in the paper. The books didn't look very attractive, so Baby and I cut out leaves, butterflies, and a “pond” out of construction paper. We used blue tape to tape the cut-outs on to the books. Now it doesn't look like a boring science project, but a fun craft! 

This week was my last week of doing grammar every day. Next week, I start writing, and grammar is less often. I have to say I’m looking forward to it. I love writing, grammar - not so much. All in all, the first week back in school wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible. I think it was just right, and sharing it with you makes it all the better! 

Now for some pictures!

That was a great poem! You are so creative. :)

My favorite part of the blog, though, is the pictures.
