The kids all opted to use their attitude points to skip school on Monday. Kinda threw off the plans for the day, but we all got a bunch of things done. So no real loss.
Tuesday we started SOTW Volume 4. We read Chapter 1 about The Crystal Palace and the Sepoy Rebellion. I've started having each of them do a bit of writing after each reading to help them retain a bit more of what we read. It was a bit sketchy this week, but hopefully it will just become a habit.
They also each picked a project to start working on. Seth is finishing up something for his Roblox game and intends to have it actually functional. Catherine wants to do something like make honeysuckle juice. And Aaron wants to make a Minecraft character intro list.
For math Seth worked on Khan (he's so close to done, but that's often the hardest part). Catherine did Math Doodles, and Aaron did Zoombinis.
At lunch we watched some Horrible Histories on Queen Victoria and the Crystal Palace, Mark Rober on sinking in a pool of Orbeez, life as a child chimney sweep (awful), how the smoothness of a ball affects curve (Physics Girl), a video on the Sepoy Mutiny, and an explanation on water refraction.
We also had our poetry day at Knoxes. They're all back into Shel Silverstein, which is fine. Maybe one day they'll branch out. Then it was lots of time playing in the woods and yard.
