The Challenge

We will officially start the challenge not this Sunday or Monday but the next because we have family from out of state coming this week.

The Challenge Book

OK, we only had one book to choose from. Thank you Megan @ me that's all I have to be. Kaylee and I will be reading The Giver.  I know I said I would post what book we would be reading yesterday or  Saturday night but I haven't seen my sister long enough to talk about it. Saturday I was at my friends house and was with her until last night. Then Kaylee looked and saw we only have one book to choose from so we will be reading The Giver for our first challenge. If any body has ideas for the next challenge, suggestions are always welcome.

Favorite time of the week

OK so my favorite time of the week is when I get all of my school done for that week.  This week I got all of my school done with a day and a half extra!!! I am soooo excited...but I still could do math and some extra history for next week so there goes a day and a half of freedom:( but I am still very excited about getting my other stuff done.

PS. people please comment on what book me and my sister should read. Please

The Challenge

So my older sister Kaylee, over at soaringonmusicalwings, challenged me to a book reading contest to see who could read a book the fasted. So Kaylee and I have decided to challenge each other one time each month.  We will put each other to the test in many random things.  We like to call this:

So here is how it works.  Each month we will choose something random that we will challenge each other to do.  Whoever, does the challenge first WINS!!!  There will be no prize only bragging rights!!  The first Challenge is.....

The Reading Challenge

This challenge began when Whitney claimed she could read a book faster then I could.  Since I am the older sister I am CLEARLY the one who can read faster so I challenged her to a reading challenge.

The Rules:  Since we are homeschooled we decided that we are not allowed to start reading the book until after three thirty, except for on weekends, that way we get our school done before we begin.  We have to keep you updated and then write what we thought about the book on our blog.  

We need YOU to leave comments with one of your favorite books.  After one week we will pick the book we want to read and BEGIN!!!! 

Don't forget to comment!!!

What I am grateful for/ Prayer Request and Praise

OK so I was looking at my posts yesterday after I posted about school... again and I decided that I would do my next post on things I am grateful for.  OK so I am grateful for all the wonderful people in my life, piano lessons, violin lessons, (well I don't really do violin lessons but I still play) and Kalona Coffee house and Kalona chocolates.  And everything else that God has given me.  Oh and school even though I don't like it.

One of my aunts had surgery yesterday because she was having pain in her stomach.  luckily it wasn't what they thought it was (I don't remember what it was some long name)  and they found out what it was.  It was an  ovarian cyst as well as 2 adhesion's on her intestines.  So the prayer request is that she will have a safe and fast recovery, and the praise is that it wasn't what they thought it was and that they were able to fix it.

I DONT LIKE SCHOOL

So this week are third quarter test :( not fun, and that means that this week so far has been studying doing any extra work that needs to be done this week and lot more studying.  Studying just makes me SO tired and its SO boring.  I haven't actually fallen asleep while studying or doing any other kind of school work yet but my sisters have and when they did some classes that they didn't think were that entrusting when they were doing the homework and so far i haven't had that boring of  classes yet and i am hoping that i wont.

I just noticed that all of my post so far have been about school except the one about me.  I am not a homeschooler who does school all the time but whenever i am doing school i decide to post and then all i can think about is school so i post about school. and another reason is because i haven't really hangout with my friends that much this week.

TO MUCH SCHOOL

ok so first I don't really have anything to do on Thursday nights but every other Thursday night I have drama.  usually I am totally busy but not tonight :D. Any way so today i was doing so much school that I couldn't even remember what day it was.  Not kiding I was talking to my mom and I could not think of what day it was, I went through every day and could not figure it out. I wasn't acually doing that much stuff but it took for ever and this week are our third quarter test and so extra studing but lucky us we dont have much else to do but study and catchup unless we dont have a test in that class like art.

About my school

I am a homeschooler but have classes once a week with a group with other homeschoolers.  We get homework to keep us busy the rest of the week and we also have some things like math and reading that we do only at home.  We do our homework for that week then go to classes and go over what we did for homework that week and learn more stuff. Then we talk about what we are going to be doing for homework the next week, then we start all over agian.  That is what the high school kids do, the younger kids do the same thing but on a different day and they either dont have any home work or they just have a little.

Oh and I have been homeschooled all my life.

I'm Widgy

Welcome to my blog! My name is Widgy. I am 13 years old, and I'm in 8th grade. I'm home schooled, but I go to classes full of home schoolers, once a week. I play the Violin and the Piano. I will soon be selling my crafts at our local Coffeehouse. My family runs a Chocolate Business, and sometimes I help make the chocolate. I really love reading, and I read a ton! I also like drawing. 


This is my fist time blogging, and I'd love it if you followed! :)
