Mika - School and Life in General

By -

 

Hello, it’s Mika here, and I want to talk about how my school has been and life in general. For school, my electives are art, soccer and cooking. First of all, for art, I have done some cool projects. For example, just this week I painted a picture for my neighbor of a fish for his birthday. Also, I made I couple of other drawings.


Next, for soccer, my dad made a goal on one of our walls with chalk. Every Tuesday and Thursday I go and practice soccer. I learned a cool trick this week. Now for cooking, I have made a lot of different things from: eggs, brownies, fudge with my brother, and much more. Just this week me and Gabriel make our neighbors a birthday cake. I would say we did pretty good for our first cake!


Now, I want to talk about my math, reading, writing and science. For math I do a program called Khan Academy. So far, in just a couple weeks, I have got 39% mastery in 6th grade math. I do Khan Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Now let’s talk about reading. Before school started me and my brother watched a show called A Series of Unfortunate Events. For his birthday he got all the chapter books, so I read them for reading. Next week I will start on chapter 11.


And finally writing and science. For writing, each week is different. This week I wrote about my book and some key events that happened. And last but not least is science.  I haven't done a lot of science, but what I have done has been fun. Like last week me and my brother did two projects together. Over all, school has been so much fun so far. Have a great day!

Thank you Mika for sharing with us your adventures in learning. It sounds like you have a great schedule and a fun mix between electives and your regular studies. I know science can be tricky, but I bet if you look around you will notice a ton of opportunities, for example, you drew a fantastic fish for your friend. I bet you could study the nomenclature, draw and label the parts of the fish for your next project. You’d be checking both art and science off of your list for the week! Where we live we have science happening right outside our door. I’ve started a science shelf for my grandson so he will have cool things to learn about from where I live. Keep up the great work!

 Sorry for the suspense!  The power went out yesterday around 1:30 pm just as the main brunt of the storm was subsiding.  We decided to take a drive around town and see the. damage. As I thought, we were spared major damage although we had sustained winds of at least 50 mph and hard, steady rain.  We lost some of the lamina (tin) roof on the chicken coop and a few plants were blown silly but otherwise we were spared.  We did lose a phone pole on our property, too. Last night was one my favorite in a long time.  The kids played charades in candle light while I tried to sing kareoke from my phone.  We laughed so hard.  It was a very fun evening. We spent most of the day drying out, putting things away, and pulling weeds.  The chickens are super happy, the dogs and cat are good, and the garden is super happy now. We appreciate everyone following along and sending positive thoughts.  We heard the road out of town to Vizcaino is not passable yet.  I also heard from a friend in San Juanico w

Hurricane Kay 8am Update

 The storm is starting to kick up a bit.  Everyone slept well and is ready for what's to come.  We have a few minor leaks in the house but we are prepared.  The rain is starting to come down and I think is supposed to last until tomorrow.  The brunt of the strom should start around 9 and last until mid afternoon. I walked out to check on our rooster, hen, and baby chicks.  Our rooster, Reyna, was drenched and not happy.  It appears he was stubborn and slept on his perch.  I put come cinder blocks on the tin roof of the coop and made some more shelter inside.  They will survive but they don't too happy. The light just flickered a bit so I hope our electricity stays on.  If so, I'll post again in a few hours.

 The wind is still blowing hard out of the east.  I am sensing we won't get hit as bad as expected.  But with that said, the brunt of the storm is coming.  I know there will be extensive damage around town and to the roads.  From what I can see from our place, the erosion of the roads is not too bad yet but the bulk of the rain is still to come. We have moderate leaking in our house but not too bad.  Having Starlink has been great.  The kids are watching videos and building Lego while Tracy is busy creating lesson plans.  As long as the power stays on, we are in good shape. I wanted to point out a few things that have really helped us weather this storm.  First off, I created a few makeshift rain gutters.  I did this to collect water from fog and drizzle.  But it's really helped us out as I empty the rain collection containers and this has minimized water building up from saturation. I also bought some rain barrier bags.  They expand when wet and then channel the water to a rec
