Rich Man Adventures

Last week we celebrated fall break with a trip to Cedar City to visit family and to some local State and National Parks. We went to Cedar Breaks, Bryce Canyon, Kodachrome and Zion. Also a stop at Red Acre Farm. It was really cool to see and climb on the sights and see wildlife. Here are pictures from our trip:

This week I had fun playing with these large Minecraft blocks made out of carboard boxes! We also got these awesome curtains for my room! We did brain balance two of the days this week, and math lessons learning about shapes, and other math games. Wednesday we did art with a group of kids and we painted ceramic pumpkins and we talked about different colors and shades to add effect. We also painted some with glow in the dark paint! We watched two different versions of Pollyanna and compared the two. There was one version that followed the book much closer, and we both liked that one better. It was the non Disney version, which suprised my mom because that was the one she grew up watching.  This weekend we are going to southern Utah and visiting Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon! Also we will be playing with cousins. It'll be fun!

 October 6-12 Monday: I practiced handwriting, did my brain balance exercises, and we worked on painting my room! Tuesday: I did more handwriting practice, and had my brain balance zoom call with my trainer. Wednesday: We went on a field trip to Bridal Veil Falls and a park nearby. We walked and listened to and identified different birds. We came to some camp sites and we pretended we were detectives learning about what the people did or ate at their camp. It was surprising how people left clues behind. We talked about leaving no trace. We also went to KFC and we met a man who worked there with disabilities. He talked to us kind of different, but we were nice to him and he kept wanting to do "pound it" knuckles. We talked a lot about showing kindness to people who are different. We also went to IKEA to choose curtains for my bedroom! Friday: Today we did some Language Arts, my last build box for year 1 of crunch labs, a piano lesson and to a playgroup. There weren't many ...

Monday - Science day! I built an airplane launcher from the Crunch Labs build box. It turned out pretty cool! Someday I want to be an NASA worker. I also took my Praying Mantis outside to see if he could get some food. He did eat an ant that crawled right into his mouth! Tuesday - We had my Brain Balance zoom call with my coach to do my exercises. I'm making good progress. We did a math lesson about rounding to the nearest million. The lesson talked about space and how you have to round to large numbers in space. Wednesday - I picked out a paint color for my bedroom! It's called Loyal Blue. I want a space themed bedroom with glow in the dark stars! Our goal is to have it all done by the end of the month! We also did a math lesson about using mental math in different ways to find out the answer. Thursday - I learned about the Mediterranean Sea today and the countries that are by it. We pretended to go on a cruise through the sea and named each country. There are 7 continents, ...
