going away party

Last Saturday I had a going away party with some of my friends.
We watched the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. It was so much fun.
Today I got done with all my school around 11:30.It's nice to get done with school before lunch.
Every Tuesday we have soccer with the home school group.I don't normally play because I don't like soccer. two weeks ago it was boys V.S. girls but there weren't enough girls so about four of the boys played on their team. The Girls won 2-0. One of the girls commented about that it was a glorious day since the girls won and one of the boys that played on the girls team said "It'll be a glorious day when the girls win without boys."
Smart Alick.

whoopy!

I've almost completed my science book!
( the one from last year) I just have one more page of my chapter check-up and then I'm done!
My mom already ordered my next one.
Yea mom.
I like Fridays because we don't have to do regular school we can do things like sketching,
or reading or typing.

Hornbills

I am now reading about vertebrates in science and today I learned about a bird named the wreathed hornbill.
It says during mating season, the hornbill couple finds a hole in a tree that is big enough for the mothers 17-inch-long body and for her soon-to-come chicks.
When they find the right place,the hornbills fly to the river bank to scoop up mud with their beaks.
Then they return to their hole in the tree to build a wall that will cover up the nest.
When the wall is almost finished, the mother hornbill squeezes in while the father flies to get more mud.
The mom and dad work together until there is only a narrow crack left.When the wall is done, the mom lays her eggs inside and sit and waits until they hatch while the father feeds her through the hole.
When the birds hatch, the father keeps feeding them through the hole until the baby birds are to big for only the father to feed them.
That's when the mother breaks out of the hole and works with the dad to find more food while the chicks build back up the wall.
When the chicks are big enough, they break the mud wall.When the chicks are ready to fly, the parents stand on a nearby branch and squawk until they get it.
My mom called the hornbill a home school bird I thought that was funny.

stuff

In science I've been learning about the weather, and today I was reading about thunder and tornadoes and what causes them.It said that when a lighting bolt travels through air it heats the air to 54,000 which is five times hotter than the sun's surface and that the super heated air expands rapidly causing sound waves we all know as thunder!
