Act Like A Computer

1. Tell us a few things about the experience. How many instructions did you have to give? What was the hardest thing to command the partner to do? Did the partner end up doing anything funny or unexpected? 

I told my partner to pick up the cast iron skillet, which was on the stove.  And then she just picked it up for a second and then dropped it.  And then I told her to pick it up and keep it in her hand.  And then I told her to turn around, and then she kept on turning around over and over and over again, and she did not stop. So I waited until she faced the counter and then I said stop.  And then I said put the cast iron skillet on the counter in front of you.  And then she reached out and to put the cast iron skillet on the top but she could not reach the counter without moving so it fell on the floor.  Then I said nevermind about that and then I told her to turn around until she was facing the bar stool that was in the middle of the room, and then I said stop.  And the bar stool had a can opener on it, so I told her to pick up the can opener.  And then I took a can of green beans out of the cupboard and I put it on the bar stool. I then told her "open up the can".  Then she dropped the can opener and she was trying to pry the can open with her hands, grrrrr.   Then I told her to open it up with the can opener, and then she put the can opener on top and then she started yanking  on the can opener, and scraping it on the top, and banging it on the top. And I said stop.  And then I told her put the can opener on the rim of the can, and then she put it on wrong. And then I was like never mind put the can opener down, and then she put it down. And conveniently the counter had some flour on it. And there was a pack of sponges next to the green beans.  And I told her to pick up one of the sponges out of the pack.  And then she picked it up and dropped it. So I told her to pick up one of the sponges out of the pack and keep it in your hand.  And then she did that.  Then I told her to run it under the water. And then she started holding the sponge out in front of her and she started running in place.    Then I told her to turn around and then she kept on turning around and she did not stop. And when she was facing the sink I told her stop. And then she stopped turning around. And then I told her to turn on the faucet. Then she turned on the faucet. And I told her put it under the faucet. And then she put it under the part where the water was not coming out.  Then I said put it under the water, and so she put it under the water that was coming out of the faucet.  And then I told her to pull it out. And then I told her to turn off the faucet. And then I told her to turn around and then she kept on turning around again, and I just waited until she was facing the counter and then I said stop.  And then I told her wipe the flour off of the counter.  And then she wiped it off with the sponge.  And then we were done. Oh, wait, no.  Then I told her to turn around and she kept on turning around. And then I just waited until she was facing the kitchen sink, and then I said stop.  And then I told her to turn on the faucet and then run the sponge under the water that was coming out of the faucet.  And then I told her to turn off the faucet.  And then I told her to drop the sponge in the sink. And she did exactly that.  And THAT is the end.

Learning Log #1 2013-2014 school year. September 4th - 7th

Math - My mom made me these math worksheets that have little squares, and there were numerals like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 0 and you had to fill in all the boxes next to the numbers and each number had like eight or nine boxes, possibly ten, I can't remember.  And so you would have to write nines in all the boxes that were next to the nines, and zeros in all the boxes that were zeros, and sevens in all the boxes that were next to the ones, and there was rows of boxes.

English - My mom also made me these handwriting worksheets and the first one was a thing that was like, cut the brownies and there were these little pans that had brownies in them, and so you drew lines on the worksheets to cut the brownies.   I read some Washingtons Rules of Civility and I read two of them, the first one and the second one, but I can't remember them.

History - We got these homeschool binders and put our names on them with stickers. And then we got some more word stickers and we put almanac in front of our notebooks.  And we are going to turn them all into almanacs.  We made these discovery journals, with my mom, she helped me allot actually.  And we cut up colored papers, like fancy papers, and we cut them into American Flags. And then we Modge Podged it onto the front of a sketch book.  And then when we were done we Modge Podged over the whole top.  And we went to a party at this one family house and they were the Schmidts. And they live on a farm and they have goats, chickens, a black pony, and a white and gray horse.  And we roasted hot dogs on a campfire in their back yard and we got to play in the rain. And it was allot of fun. And my friend Michael and I got to sneak around. And we scared a few people and they thought we were ghosts.  It was really fun.

Technology - one time Mama gave us this old broken down computer that was not working anymore and she said that we could do whatever we wanted with it. And so we got a screwdriver and we unscrewed every single screw that we saw on that thing. And we took it apart. And we took out all the microchips and we put them all together and we made a city.  Because microchips look like little cities. So we stuck all the microchips together and we called it micro city.  And it was the future in there and it was a city floating in the sky. Because the planet earth had toxic gases and it was not a good place to live anymore.  And there was a big bubble that could not be penetrated around micro city and nothing could go into the bubble so they were safe from the poisonous gases. And there was flying cars, and there was a flying car race track. And there are no oval shapes on microchips but there are rectangle shapes. So instead of having an Olympic oval we had an Olympic rectangle. And since it is futuristic that does not really matter.

P.E. - So last week at the homeschool park day I played with my friends and I played this game called the periodic table.  And it's when you are all elements and I was titanium. And then you got to have a weapon. And you got to choose what your weapon was made out of. And if it was a gun what bullets it would shoot. And I had a silver gun that shoots liquid nitrogen and freezes people. Like a freeze ray.  Any my friend Mia was gold.
