My Math Homework - Multiplication by 10

This week I forgot my home work... Again :) Of course it wasn't on purpose - what are you thinking? That I am so... forgetting?:)

But as you already know my dad will not let me skip the time test in math. So, here are this week's Math Problems I had to solve.

Have fun with those.

My Math Homework - Multiplication by 9

You know what? Very often I forget to get my math home work from school - I don't know whether it is for reason or not (or may be I know but I don't want to tell my dad :)). Doesn't matter because he still gives me math problems to solve... and not so easy ones.

I will post those on my blog so if you forget your own Math home work you can go to the my blog, print those and show up with home work at school.

This week I had to practice multiplication by 9, and here is a link to the Math Problems dad created for me.

Have fun :)

P.S. Aaah, I forgot! If you don't have Adobe Reader (this is the program used to open the Math Problems file above) you need to ask your mom or dad to install it from here.

Nebula Easter Eggs

Hi everybody! I did something super awesome today! I colored the Easter eggs with mom, dad and my grandma! Guess what? We made some of the eggs sparkly using special sparkly paint – that was very cool! But I would like to tell you how you can make colorful eggs with the normal colors you buy in the store - we call those Nebula Easter Eggs. Can you guess why? Because they look like nebulas in space.

Before you start with the coloring make sure that you cover the table with few plastic bags so you don’t make a mess. Also, you can ask your mom or dad to give you painter’s gloves to protect your hands. Of course if you want to have your hands all colored you don’t need those :)

Here are the two ways to make Nebula Easter Eggs.

Nebula Easter Eggs #1

For those you need some kitchen paper and cotton balls. If you can find bigger piece of cotton it is even better however we weren’t able to find any in the stores around. Here is what you do:

1. Put the kitchen paper on the table and place the cotton balls to each other on the paper.
   
   
2. With a spoon pour different colors on the cotton balls. Try not to pour the colors one over the other but try to moisten all cotton balls.
   
3. Once you have the cotton balls wet put the egg on top of them and wrap it up with the kitchen paper making sure there are cotton balls all around the egg.
   
   
   
4. Leave the egg sitting wrapped for 5-10 minutes.
5. When you unwrap it it will be nicely colored and look like… nebula :) Isn’t it nice?
   
6. You can put some cooking oil on a kitchen paper and polish the egg - it will look shinier.
   

Nebula Easter Eggs #2

This one is much simpler and cleaner :) Get some cooking oil and do the following:

1. Put one spoon cooking oil in every color.
2. Let the egg sitting in one of the colors for a couple of minutes. Try putting it in a lighter color first.
3. Take out the egg and let it dry.
4. When the egg is dry put it in another color for couple of minutes.
5. You can try few different colors but make sure you let the egg dry between the colors.

You don’t need to use oil to polish this one because it already has enough oil on it:) Here is how it may look like at the end:

And here is our collection:

It was sooo much fun coloring the eggs and I hope you have fun coloring your Easter eggs too! Let me know whether you like my Nebula Easter Eggs or you can send me pictures of yours.

About Me

Hello! Where should I start? OK! Name: Kalina; age: right now 7; height: don’t know exactly but around 52”; weight: 47 lbs (of course with clothes – do you think I walk naked around the house!); nationality: aaaah, this is a long story. Do you want to hear it? OK!

I am born in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, which is right here. But I lived there only for two months or even less. Right before Christmas 2001 I moved with my mom to Germany. My dad was already there waiting for us. He was very happy to be with us again and hugged me all the time (of course I don’t remember that).

Living in Germany was fun – do you know that they have the best playgrounds in the world? You can climb on webs, play with water, swing or even ride on a

and the city where we lived had one of the best Zoos I’ve ever seen.

After three years and eight months in Germany I moved to Seattle, Washington and that is where I live now. My interests are: Adventure, reading, writing, safety, and saving our planet. I went to kindergarten and first grade to America’s Child Montessori School in Bellevue, WA and from second grade on I am going to Eton School.
