Firstborn 22 January

It was a math test that started my study day today. I am reviewing Epsilon and had a test on adding fractions with same denominators.

After my test, I worked on a Latin word find. I had a list of English nouns and verbs that needed translation and then I found the Latin words in the word-find. I completed most of it.

I am studying meteorology now. Yesterday we learned about the layers of the atmosphere and I made and labelled an illustration of the atmosphere. The layers from the ground up are: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Temposphere (where the temps reach 3500* F) and the Exosphere. Today we studied air compression. Compressed air is warmer than uncompressed.

I did a lengthy page of handwriting in which I had to copy a long list of "ology" words. Plus three "exaggerated" sentences (For example: "This book weighs a ton!" or "That handwriting assignment took me all day!")

Moving on to History, I copied my report about Eric the Red into my history book. He lived in the 10th century and explored Greenland.

This afternoon I will practice my piano assignment and hope to attempt an experiment in making sugar crystals. I will tell you about that later!
