Silent Reading & Summary Chapter 13 "Unfortunate Conclusions" & Cp. 14 "The Dodecahedron": Milo and his friends bring the word stuck in Milo's mouth to the cannon of words in the valley of sound. It made the whole valley of sound have sound again. They went on their way in their car to Digitopolis. But they got sidetracked along the way. They said it couldn't be a better day and they all jumped up and landed on this beautiful island, that wasn't so beautiful after all—the Island of Conclusions—and you can only get here by jumping. They met Canby, who thought too much of himself, who told them that would be stuck on the Island on Conclusions for awhile unless they swam back in the icy cold water and since they needed to get to Digitoplis as soon as possible, they did swim. They wouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly next time.
Once they got back to the car they had to decide to travel 5 miles or all the inches, yards, feet, etc that make up 5 miles. They kept arguing and suddenly a weird little man walked by with twelve faces: "My angles are many, my sides are not few. I am the Dodecahedron, who are you?" He led the way to the Number Line where they met the Mathematician, who was the King of Digitopolis and he will help Milo and his friends on the quest for Rhyme and Reason, as well as help make King Azaz, ruler of Dictionoplois, happy again. He leads them to the castle in Digitopolis, where the next chapter will start.
Maestro Colonial Book Summary pg 25-35 Starting the French and Indian War in 1756 the Native American decided it would be better to team up with the French instead of fighting with the English or not doing anything. Up in Canada the fur trade business was big in Europe, so more French people were coming. Some of the Native Americans decided to be Catholic and they made friends with the French. But down in the 13 colonies, things were not going so well. The Native Americans were getting mad at the English and Spanish. They had lots of wars. The most famous is the Pequot War. But even up in Canada the Native Americans and French were getting ready to attack—not with each other though! The surprise for the English and Spanish….

After recovering from the pain of their daughter Bethany, they brought 8 other colonists with them who has to learn the customs of the colony.

Skating: Sophie's Blog "Melissa and Dennis": This weekend Melissa Gregory and Dennis Petukhov Olympic 3rd place ice dancers came to teach us in Brunswick. I worked with them in Simsbury and we asked them if they would be our Guest skaters in the March show and they accepted! This weekend though they came down to do private lessons and a seminar. I had lessons with both of them and I learned ALOT!! The seminar was on Martin Luther King day and it was a lot of fun!! We had partners and we put our toe pick on hockey pucks and did lunges! They also taught a Micheal Jackson routine to us! It couldn't of been better!!!
Bo and I have probably enjoyed the Colonial House DVD as much (or more) than you Sophie. Thank you for sharing it with us. Hopefully the storm next week will wait a day or two so we can start your art projects. I am enjoying reading your blog. Keep up the good work.
