Birds are most active in the early morning and late evening

  1. Photography
Now lets get EVEN MORE hardcore. We need to do more photomanipulation (messing with photos).
You need:
  • Photos you’ve taken, saved on a device
  • An editor. It’s time to use a REAL editor. https://pixlr.com/x/ is nice. If you have access to Lightroom or Photoshop and a gifted parent, great. 
  • On iPhone, iPad or iPod, try Darkroom by Bergen. Free version is very good
  • On Android Pixlr works OK


Make sure your photos are in-focus and good to start with!! You can’t really ‘fix’ a poor picture.
(you may not find all of these settings, and you might find others. Do your best)

  1. Math Challenge:

A wine merchant has three sons. When he dies, he leaves them seven barrels that are full of wine,
seven that are half-full, and seven that are empty.
His will requires that each son receive the same number of full, half-full, and empty barrels.
Can this be done?
What are some methods I can use on this?
Picture? Table? Equation? Random Calculator Bashing?

What is my wild estimate?

OK, try it!!





Find some inspiration and DO SOMETHING ACTIVE AND CHALLENGING!
(I’m working on Mills Mess, a juggling pattern)

  1. Book check in!
Read in a new and different interesting place!
Questions: Pick 2 or 3
  • If the book was a TV show, which actors would you cast in it?

  • If the main character in that story lived next door, would you be friends?

  • What does the place look like in your head as you read? Would you want to visit there?

  • Did you learn any new words or facts so far?


6. Learning Cafe Menu:

The Home Stretch

  Wow- this has gone really fast and kinda slow at the same time. To paraphrase a friend of mine, "Time is sorta sticky this year!...
