妹妹借了本BL6.9的绘本,clock and calendar,讲the Gregorian calendar的来历,演变,纪年方式,以及Chinese calendar、Hebrew calendar, Islamic calendar.以及clock的发明,发明前的计时方式。书挺有意思的,她们觉得数学课学的日历只是计算,这个挺有趣的。还说了月历的缺陷。
周一姐姐有个作业是收集爱因斯坦的生平,她忘了做,周二一早把家里的who was Albert Einstein带学校去了,轮到她讲的时候她就挑了有趣的把书翻译了一下。虽然没做语文老师的作业,语文老师还是表扬她了,唯一收集的信息不是只有爱因斯坦哪国人,生于何时死于何时的。她还把原子弹的制作那一节讲了一遍。还有relativity也讲了下,估计没听说过相对论这个词,只知道relativity。英语单元考,两人还行,被奖励了棒棒糖

冒着雾霾参加某比赛。说很快,让家长等,结果上楼之后1小时才下来,差点儿我被冻僵了。
才艺么,我们是这么解决的。姐俩拿佩剑去了,给评委们演示啥叫佩剑。
Hello, my name is Agnes and this is my saber. Saber is derived from the old cavalry sword. It is the most useful weapon in fencing.
Saber is fast and furious, it is unique in that you can hit your opponent with the tip of the sword as well as the side, we call that cutting action.
Before hit your opponent, you need to know how to on guard. Bend your legs, Stand with saber straight up and slightly tipped forward. This helps your hand ready to make attacks and block attacks from your opponent.
Then, you can attack your opponent or defend by moving your feet and using hand techniques. You have to be quick and concentrated
妹妹的是这样的:
Hello, my name is Anita. I’d like to show how to move your feet in saber. Foot work is crucial to fencing. You can have the fastest hand in the world and know every single move but if you can’t move your feet, you’re sitting duck.
So this is the basic on guard position. You can step forwards, step backwards. The basic attacking move is called lunge.
Often, you can combine all the footwork to create a step lunge.
You can combine all the movements to create a position to attack your opponent: you step forward, backward attack with a step lunge and set your opponent to hitting.
据说评委让她们演示防守反击。据她们说:There are three parries in sabre. 我对这句话不负责
听说最后还是问她们会不会唱英语歌,转场到另一教室唱的dou rei mi和Oh Susanna!

双十一啥也没抢,报了两个XES班,哎!
老师推荐参加某英语比赛,昨天拿初赛证,资料。感觉无聊。50篇短文,要抽一篇读30秒。昨儿晚上我自己看了一下50篇文章,题材凑合,写得一般。第二个环节才艺,哦,我家没啥才艺。哎,去玩玩好了,毕竟老师推荐的,不去不行。
上周终于期中考试结束了!有个初中孩子说期中发成绩前是死缓。小学孩子好一些。数学姐姐98,妹妹99。姐姐扣分是因为写错两个汉字。妹妹打错小数点。
奥数继续,继续是下了奥数课就能做完作业,我也是服了她们姐妹俩了。这次内容当妈的我真的不知道是啥,至少我上学时没接触过。爸爸还挺有兴趣的看了看她们课本,说很简单,好吧,人家做金融的数学自然是响当当的。
姐姐阅读读到7了,有点儿吃惊,猛然她跟妹妹拉开差距了,不知道是为什么。妹妹还在5.X,姐姐说就是因为她最近经常读non-fiction,级别高的non-fiction.妹妹还在读小说,达尔的各种小说,校园小说,仙女小说。有时两人还读家里的MTH research guide,一本也就20来分钟。
