This week, I went to my taekwondo, violin, and swimming class. I went to nature school on Wednesday, and I didn’t go to Orchestra on Saturday because I was sick.
I finished my FSA this week. 
I did Brilliant every day of the week, and this was about geometry and area. 
I did some questions on Khan Academy to practice my language arts. 
I learned about work and energy on Khan Academy. 
I learned about vector fields on Khan Academy, 
And I learned about 3D vector fields. I wanted to learn about this because I was learning about vectors from the 3Blue1Brown course (on YouTube) and I wanted to see if there was a course on Khan Academy about that. 
I learned about the potential energy stored in a spring.
From Mink, my nature school teacher:
The Great Blue Herons made their way to a fun and far-off locale known as “best peninsula”, all the way at the Northwest corner of Rice Lake. Here, we soaked up the little sun we could while perched upon lake-side rocks, enjoying our snacks. Some of us worked on carving projects while others practiced rock-hopping parkour! The weather is changing, and with it, it’s time to prepare for a spring full of SCOUTING missions! We busted out a fun classic scouting/movement game called “Scout Sword”, and followed it up with some running and hiding style games. The day was peppered with amazing moments making friends with the local ducks. Many of them had names by the end of the day! Most of us spent the afternoon whittling away on our weapons-of-choice for the Forest Ninja Ghost Pinata game we are working on. These staffs (some long, some short) have to be sturdy enough to whack a heavy ball, but just thin enough to fit inside of a pool noodle which will serve as protective padding. Because we are harvesting our staffs from the forest, they will have to stay there between sessions, but students are welcome to bring their own sticks (and pool noodles!) from home if they want to have their own, personalized staffs. Wooden broom sticks would serve this purpose well! We managed to circumnavigate Rice Lake by the end of the day, and stashed our hard-won staffs in a secret spot in the forest for next week.
