 * We spent extra time last day to complete our math lesson and assignment so that we can spend extra time today on our science experiment. Today we worked on our Structure Challenge! Please see our science page for details...**

I love to learn how to do new things. I like how I feel when I know how to do something I didn't know just moments before...like I've just changed my life forever!!!! **FOREVER!!!!** I love how I feel when I am good at something.
 * A random thought on LEARNING...**

Well tonight, after school, I came home to my husband at a loss for how to start putting in new tile in the basement. He wasn't sure how to mix the mortar...and even if the mortar was mixed, he wasn't sure how use it. So guess what I learned how to do... Yes...you guessed it - I learned how to mix mortar and lay tile! I just feel like a super star when I can do things myself (ok, youtube helped a bit). And while I learned this new skill - sweet Mr. Kidd practiced his gourmet omlette making skills. Do you think he knew we were obsessed with eggs today in science class?

What new thing have you learned today?
