Friday Fun Day and Beavers

This week we had our first Friday fun day. This was an evening of total screen-time bonanza for rewards of completing the chart. I believe it was a success. Reasons:

*More on-top-of-it parenting
*Motivation to achieve week's goals
*We actually started our history videos!!!


Maxwell is doing the top ten US founding fathers, Daniel is doing the top ten Canadian founding fathers, and Hyrum is doing Canadian history up to creation of dominion.

and last but not least:
*Maxwell started his 3D design COLLEGE class!!!


I've been meaning to get him going on this forever. Finally we are doing it!

And now,

SOCIAL STUDIES

We delved more into the beaver fur phenomenon. I had no idea how close we came to having a completely different history. Did you know it was FRENCH trappers who set up the Hudson Bay company?!? They went up there against the French king's will and so were thrown in jail and when they got out, they went to the British who sponsored them!

I doubt the British would have won the French Indian war without their Hudson Bay stronghold.

Anyway, we made hats to celebrate, but I couldn't find brown poster board paper.



SCIENCE

I promise from the depths of my soul to try to do science club this upcoming week.

The Warrior Elements....Continued

Flame saw Vipe. Vipe was fitting though the hole in the octagon sky. Vipe went to grab Flame's hands, but missed.

Flame suddenly remembered about his bag full of crystals. He ripped it open with all his might. Out dropped tons of crystals, scattering everywhere. He grabbed a crystal, which jolted him to a stop, but then it slipped out of his hands.

"NOOOO!" Thud. He landed in soft snow. The crystal that had stopped him had only been a few feet above the snow.

Vipe said "Are you okay?"

Flame said "Yeah. Where do you think that water element went?"

"I don't know. Hey look! There he is, I think." said Vipe.

A water element had just ran through the force field. An octagon had disappeared to let it through and then reappeared after it was in. It started skating down the hill toward them.


Daniel
The Adventures of Digital 3s....Continued

I'll take you there.

Instantly everything turned black. I could see a few lights that began to twist and bend. The lights turned off and then it was as if the blackness got smeared off my eyes.

I was looking down into a bucket. I vomited into the bucket. Twister did also, but Jack just looked very sick.

I looked up and realized we were at the water castle.

"What just happened?" Twister asked.

"You were teleported. Almost everyone gets sick when they do that, so we have a bucket ready." said Drooplet. "Come on! Let's go to the queen!"

There were almost no water people in sight as we were going to the castle. When we got to the castle, we saw why: There were hundreds of water people at the gate going through security. Apparently, the queen had asked for everyone's help.

After security, which took an hour, a guard came to us and told us what was going on."The water queen senses great danger. She is getting everybody ready for a giant battle."
