Today we had a grammar test in English. It was about the two forms of verbs in the past tense. For example, "see" is the verb, "I saw" is one version and "I have seen" is the other. This test, I am sure I did good in because we learned this in first and second grade, but you have to give these kids credit. They started English in third grade and that was just a little vocabulary and already, they are so far! If a German exchange student came, even at age twelve, they would be able to talk to us in English and we most likely would not know more than a word of German. Lucky them!!!
A few hours later in Art, most of us finished our mazes. However, some of the students had missed Art 1st week, so they still had a little while until they finished. When most of us had finished, our Art teacher hung an example of a colored maze on the wall. It had been done by a student and our Art teacher explained that we needed to color our mazes, but not just any way we wanted, we had to choose three different shades of the same color and she gave an example of how to slightly overlap them so the maze would slowly get lighter and then fade slowly dark over and over. It had a cool effect when done correctly and it made me think of a maze of tunnels with an occasional torch here and there along the secret passage way. But the bell rang before we got to try to do it ourselves, so I will have to wait until next week.
When I got home, Merinda let Synja, Liam and I go outside. We found sticks to use as wands and started protecting the baby crocodiles from the bad guys. We yelled nonsense words and waved our wands around. This caused the bad guys to fall into a deep sleep and when we woke them up, they were nice guys again. This game continued for a while until Merinda called us in. It was fun and Liam enjoyed it too. Usually, he wants to run from the bad adult crocodiles which is fun too but I am glad Liam agreed to do something different.
