Hump Day Report
1. In Science - which handmade glider will go farther?
The prediction: the long wing glider will go farther because it is slimmer. The result: And it did !
The question of the day- does that mean that birds with short stubby wings can’t fly far?
2. In History - A note, Mama, written in Hieroglyphics was sitting on my planner this morning. It was a little book, orange, folded carefully. Noticed near, the book Egyptology.
3. In Grammar - Did he do it right? is not an inverted verb sentence. Did is a helping verb and do is the verb.
4. More Grammar. “What is an interrogative sentence?”
Dd8 has been studying this for almost two weeks.
“I know, I know !”, she says it’s Int. 
No one ever needs to know this, I’m not concerned.
5. In Math - The area of a trapezoid is base one plus base two divided by 2. Yep, it’s that easy. I can’t say I’ve every used this formula in adult life either, but then again, I’m not a Mathematician.
6. In Read Aloud - Will the Fathers put the wheel on the school even though it’s storming? Comment. Wasn’t that something, Janus in Church after all these years.
7. Independent Reading - dd8 drew a very detailed picture of her chamber. I came to find out, it is her bedroom !
Dd10 drew two thieves and wrote: The thieves stole jewelry. They used bags.
Ds10 designed an Egyptian Lunch Menu: Dates, figs, cheese, honey cakes and Nile River water. They had to drink something !
8. Religion - St.Patrick never expected everyone to use the Shamrock to explain the Trinity. No, it appears he didn’t, but he showed Cecilia and Michael just how it all came to be.
9. I lost the top to the kitchen trash can. What you say? How in the world. I really don’t know. I guess it’s better than ants in the sugar, that was last week’s kitchen nightmare.
10. Shock. I skipped spelling today. I just wanted a break.
How is your week going so far?
