Started our new Story of Science book, "Newton at the Center." Read one chapter about the beginning of the Renaissance and how weird it would be if we were to open some Egyptian tomb and find scientific texts explaining dark matter or other things we consider mysteries. But that's exactly what happened after the Middle Ages ended.
Seth and Catherine are still working on Khan. I've started having Catherine write the problems down on paper so she can solve them on her own time without the pressure of the screen in her face. Seems to be helping. Aaron used the fraction manipulatives to make several equivalent fractions for me. He even made his own tiny wedges that were 1/24 and 1/33.
I actually did check on Catherine's journal and she really has been writing in it. No idea what it says since she doesn't want me to read it, but if she's writing and happy about it, I'm not touching it. Seth worked some more on his email for the magnet school, and Aaron added to his Elliot email.
Seth is still working on reading the Ender's Game series. Catherine read every Mercy Watson book on Hoopla, and Aaron is reading Ranger Rick magazines.
We met Knoxes at a park for poetry day, but it ended up raining. So to save our poetry books, they just played instead.
