Home schooling so far

It's really raining today.  Today I had a toasted blueberry bagel with butter  for breakfast.  Me and my Mom read The Woodland Indians by C. Keith Wilbur.  We learned about how pottery became popular with Woodland Indians in Ohio.  We also learned about the Indian mounds.  The Adena Mound builders cremated the dead in huts on top of the mounds and then covered up the ashes with more dirt.   The I got on the computer and practiced using the radius to figure out the circumference of a circle.  You multiply the radius by pi (3.14).  I'm getting pretty good at reducing fractions to simplest form.  I finished reading Book I of a series called The Edge Chronicles.  So far I have read Al Capone Does my Shirts, Gregor the Overlander, The Giver, and The Edge Chronicles.  Every Tuesday I go to Morgantown, West Virginia to the Monongahela Arts Center and take a two hour art class.  I am making a batik with an image of two toucans.  Every Wednesday and Friday I go to rehearsal for a play I am in called The Stone in the Road.  I play a Knight who does not know how to think for himself and can only take orders.  For lunch I had broccoli, Wheat Thins, chicken noodle soup, and carrots.  Then I wrote on my blog.  It's still raining.
