You'll notice that I'm still not smart enough to use the video on my camera. For some reason I think its ok to turn the camera sideways to get the framing better. So watch the first part of the video laying down.

Electricity
I'm the over achieving parent again. Micah's class had to give a speech that was "how to " or " an explanation". Since she has been doing electricity experiments since christmas we decided to do a talk about electricity. Our first draft was 3 pages. Even I figured that was too much to talk about. We ended up with 2 pages that Micah proceeded to memorize. I saw some of the other speeches today and they were more along the lines of "how to make a cake", and a really cute one about how "how to give blood" (the little girl has a blood disorder so has had a lot of blood tests.)
Electicity - part 3 - The End
Do you know how hard it is to type Electricity? Anyway, if Micah is chosen she gets to go to the district Speech tournament in April.

Smartie Pants
My Smarties. I get to brag once in a while. Report cards came home. Bradlee, who is taking 3 honors courses got straight "A"s. Avarie got all "A"s except PE (who cares) and Micah now gets to take the math test before they start the chapter and then do fun homework instead of the workbook. So Yeah!!!
I wish we didn't have to do so much homework to make it all happen. Last night I got to learn about the Aksum and Kush and Nok empires. Never heard of them. Probably never will again (at least until Micah gets in 6th grade). Also learned how to write the equation for a line in standard and point-slope formula and how to find the slope and the perpendicular bisector of a line.
Micah is home sick this morning. She didn't finish her homework. She was suppose to write a letter to President Obama. She spent most of yesterday making her own planet out of model magic and coloring it. I guess I should have spent more time on my 3rd grade homework.
