Read some more from Sweep. I think I'm traumatizing Elise with this story. Oops. The kids are enthralled by this point, which I love.
It was Elise day, so we played a game with alphabet flashcards on the stairs. She only knows 6 letters completely, and a few more that she's shaky on. So we have a lot of work to do but she's made lots of improvement already!
I found some new math apps that Catherine has been trying out (Math Doodles). Aaron did Zoombinis for a really, really long time. By the time he finished he had lost so much of the day that he opted to use his attitude points to skip school for the day. Sigh. Seth did some more Khan. He's so close to the end, but keeps making silly mistakes (and not opting for the hints so he can figure out what he did wrong). Catherine did a bit of Khan. She does pretty well if I'm there to help, so that's what we're doing right now.
For their learning journals Catherine wrote about the Gold Rush (after confirming that it occurred in California instead of Spain) and Seth wrote about sumo wrestling.
We pulled out some glass cups and learned a bit about water refraction. It was fun to see how different shaped cups affected the experiment.
For stretch books Seth is going through a bunch of Orson Scott Card books, Catherine is reading the Book of Mormon, and Aaron is still working on the magazines. He complains mightily about the reading, but it's good for him.
