(Wish we could get the scanner to cooperate, but for some reason it saves the pictures in a format that we can't edit - so we can't turn the scanned pictures right side up for some reason. Hopefully we will get that figured out soon. This first picture is a partial drawing. The whole picture is under it, sideways).
I have been studying about Pierre Josef Redoute. He was a man who loved to paint flowers. He lived in France. This is a picture of him drawing a picture of what he loves, which is flowers. In France there are no monkeys, but I just like to draw them, so I put one on the tree (if you don't know what that is).
This is the real book about Redoute, and I read the whole thing within two days. Then Kaya and I read it together.
For geography today, I was playing a game that I had to put the states of the United States in the right place on a blank map. They put each state above the map, and I had to click on it and put it in the right place, which I didn't do very well. But Mom says I can practice and play again.
For my birthday, I got this glow in the dark thing. First I have to punch out the designs. Then all I have to do is color with the special markers and then take an activator marker and activate it totally. It glows for four hours, but I can never stay awake that long. I like to hang them on the ceiling 'cause I have the top bunk bed. There are a lot more designs but my Mom just took pictures of these two.
These are sticky Bendaroos sticks. I got these for my birthday too. You just stick them together and make the animal or design that it shows on the card.
Here I made a seahorse. I wanted it to be orange because that's my favorite color.
Nick says, "Tucker didn't help me on my math, but he did help me celebrate. This math book was all about multiplication. I learned how to multiply in this book, and I didn't like it so much. But I got used to it."
This book covered multiplication, clear up to multiplying huge numbers such as 489,276 x 592 and such. It also taught how to figure area and perimeter of rectangles, and converting measurements such as miles to feet, teaspoons to tablespoons, feet to inches or yards, pounds to tons, ounces to pounds and so on. We are really pleased with this curriculum - Math-U-See. 
This picture is especially for Aunt Staci, who asked if we really were doing cursive writing already. Yes, we are. This is one of the pages from his workbook. He was given this set of sentences to copy. Then he added the "Yes!" on his own :) Ask a dumb question...
