Chickadee Thursday
Chickadee was over the moon to see an actual TARDIS at the St. Louis Science Center last week!
Quote of the Day
“You know the sound the TARDIS makes? That wheezing, groaning? That sound brings hope wherever it goes. To anyone who hears it, Doctor. Anyone. However lost. Even you.” Billie Piper as The Moment in Doctor Who‘s “The Day of the Doctor”
2022-23 School Year–Week Twenty-Four
This was our last week of school before spring break, and the theme for the week was wrapping things up…we finished a remarkable number of things!
Ladybug graphed parabolas in algebra 2. She finished To Kill a Mockingbird. In history, she read about the breaking up of the Islamic Empire and also about Vikings in Britain. She finished the chapter on the gas phase in chemistry, focusing on the Ideal Gas Law.
Chickadee worked with ratios in math. We finished reading The Journey Begins. We also finished the science chapter on snakes and lizards. In history, she read all about Julius Caesar…the battles he fought, his rise to power, and his untimely death. She diagrammed compound sentences in grammar.
We also had an opportunity for a field trip this week…the Missouri History Museum had a “History Exploration Day” about mid-century women, which was right up my alley. The workshop on “Women, War, and the Workforce” was, in my opinion, one of the best they’ve presented. There were also some cool, um, “artifacts” to explore:
While we were out, we swung by the St. Louis Science Center:
I’m looking forward to spring break!

Chickadee Thursday
Chickadee loves our new furniture!
In other Chickadee news, her interest in Doctor Who has been renewed. One of her current favorite pastimes is running around the house with a cape-blanket, and using a writing instrument as a sonic screwdriver while she hums music from the show and makes the “Mad Doctor’s” attack eyebrows at everybody…it’s adorable!
