Today was mostly an independent study day for the girls.
Biology- Brittney was assigned to research: The Corona Virus/Covid 19, Parvo Virus and Polio Virus. She wrote a 6 page paper and presented her findings in an oral report to us this evening. Among other things, she discovered that so far Parvo and Polio are more resilient, more deadly and harder to kill than the Corona Virus. Although both of the previous ones have been around long enough that there are vaccines available. Perhaps one day the Covid 19 will have a vaccine too. She found the Virus research very interesting and is going to continue on with her research.
Earth Science- Carissa was assigned to study and report on the earthquake that happened in Utah this week. The earthquake was 5.7, the largest since 1992. She had previously interviewed her grandma and learned that at her house lots of items fell off shelves and there was no power for hours, but no major damage. Grandma lives only 7 miles from epicenter of the quake so she felt the full force of the rumbling. Carissa learned the earthquake was the "normal" kind of earthquake where the fault lines stretch or pull away from each other. In other words, "the fault line is practicing social distancing."
Band- Flute, Piano, Xylophone all practiced and music score writing implemented.
Home ec- both practiced using such novel items such as a washcloth, broom, dust pan and a mop, oh my. But we were assured, no paper towels were used in the kitchen cleaning process. Those are precious you know!
Scott and I went to 2 Walmart's, 2 Sam's Club's, Menards, Braums, and Harbor Freight and found no Toilet paper or eggs at any of the locations. However, Menards, the hardware store did have lots of my favorite cereal in stock with no quantity purchase limits, score!
And on a sad note, Krispy Kreme no longer is handing out free donuts when the hot light is on.
