Second CVA Contact

This week for one of my art projects I got to trace my sister and then she traced me.  When my sister traced me it tickled and it was really hard to hold still.
 Then we got to decorate them with special paint markers.  I like all of the different colors!

Writing in clay

What if you had to practice your writing in that clay everyday?! If your mom wanted it perfect, it would take all day everyday!

Keep working on your writing and it will get better, easier, and quicker. When you learn new things, it goes kind of slow at first, but soon your writing will be much faster and easier.

It's fun to learn about ancient people, but I'm kind of glad I live in today's world!

My first homeschool contact

This week we talked about people that lived a long time ago called nomads and egyptians.
 This is me painting a picture like they used to do in caves a long time ago.  I painted a bow and arrow.
 This is me working on my writing.  My mom makes me do it perfect and it takes a long time.
 Here I am rolling out clay so I can write my name in it like the Sumerians.  It was REALLY hard!
I used the tip of a plastic knife to press into the clay to write my name.  I think I like our ABC's much better!
