Drawing with a rat



My owners didn't like the sound of me going on an adventure. So I decided I should stick with Rat School. I decided to start art but as you can see in the picture it is harder than I thought. They told me to do the lighter colors first then layer with the darker ones. That is why you see the purple crayon marks on top of all the other ones. You see the yellow is at the bottom.



I was really trying to draw a rainbow but I do not have good dexterity so you just see a scribble. Try to imagine other things that I was drawing. Maybe you could see a bird, fish, a triangular piece of cheese, or just a rainbow as I tried to draw.



I'm front left pawed but everything I try to do doesn't work even though I'm using the right paw. Maybe a little more practice would do it. As the saying goes, "practice makes perfect". I may try to master my talents instead of going on and on and on in education. Speaking of education I need to accelerate on everything if I am to become a famous Rat. That its self may be an adventure. I hope my readers can get good ideas from me.

Rats and Triangles

Sorry I haven't posted anything in the last couple days because I was busy accelerating on my math. Anyways I was so focused on my Math I forgot all about this whole blog. Whew - now I'm back. I was just learning about how to find the area of a triangle when I remembered this blog. What I learned was so interesting I thought I would blog about it. Whew- if it wasn't for my open mind then this blog would be virtually empty except for the last couple of posts.



Back to triangles now. You find the area of a triangle by multiplying the height by the length then divide the answer by 2 and then for example if the height were 3 inches and length 12, then you multiply 3 by 12 which equals 36 then divide that by 2 so it would be 18 sq inches. It looks like this: 3x12=36 36/2=18.



As a rat I may use this if I find a triangle of Swiss cheese. This formula will help me know how much Swiss cheese I should save for later. I wish I could also share some cheese with my family but I would have to find a piece at least 6 inches in height and 18 inches in length and 10 inches in width. Next I'm going to have to learn about 3 dimensional triangles and how to figure out their volume. But my next lesson is "Using a scale factor to solve ratio problems". I don't know how that will play in my life but goodbye - I'm looking for cheese.

Rat School



In the previous post I promised legible writing. Here it is! This morning I worked and learned how to spell and do math. The children taught me. They took me into their office/Art room and let me play with the magnets and chalk. My homework was to write down everything you see in the picture.

I was so distracted I ran behind the computer and wouldn't come out of a little crack. I was finally tempted with a bit of Nutella to poke my head out. They forced the rest of my body out with a long wooden yard stick (I said its long because I am only six inches long). After that I had to focus really hard on my school work.

I also got distracted by the crayons because I really wanted to draw a picture. I wanted to draw a self portrait. If I did draw a self portrait I would have to just draw an outline with a different color crayon because as you see I am a white rat. Perhaps I may do that for Art lessons. I may blog about that another day. Anyway, if I do, I would also have to take music, physical education, social studies, and spanish. For now I'm busy enough with just spelling and math. See you later

A New Talent


Today I was being a little lazy because the family was cooking bagels . Suddenly a boy let me out of the cage (but I just felt more lazy). Finally I became active and ran through the paintings ,went in the fireplace(still no fire), scurried around the floor where I got lost, and went on the piano (Humans make playing the piano look easy!). But I did play a song. Then I went downstairs. What is down there? I thought, I have never been down there. I enjoyed running under the beds but I got caught and was brought back upstairs. What I enjoyed most was playing the piano even though I can barely play a song. Maybe one of the boys will give me piano lessons because I have no idea what those dots in that book are for. Playing the piano could be a new talent for me.
