We didn't do much for St. Patrick's Day other than wearing green. Aaron did dye the scrambled eggs green!
For reading we read some more from Sweep. Catherine seems especially into the story, possibly because it's a girl around her age and size. They were all terrified when it described how tiny and dark the chimney flues were. Nine inches square. Crazy.
Seth and Catherine both did more Khan. It was Aaron day so we did Zeus on the Loose (backwards and forwards). Catherine played with us as well. He also set up a math quiz for me. His last round of questions involved fractions, which he totally understood. So that's awesome!
Seth sent off his email to the magnet program after edits and suggestions from me and Jon. Catherine is still writing in her journal (I really did check), and Aaron finished his email and sent it to Elliot! He didn't let me proofread it, so it's basically a long list of perler bead colors. Sigh. He's been reading the Ranger Rick magazines instead of a book lately, which is fine.
Book Club day! Seth read more from Other Words For Home and Catherine read every Mercy Watson book on Hoopla. Catherine's group made butter in a jar, which kicked off a butter-making evening at our house for Seth & Catherine. Seth's group (me leading) talked about prejudice, and hijabs, and fitting in.
That afternoon Seth played kickball with the YM while the kids and I had a impromptu St. Patrick's Day party on the playground with the Knoxes and Thangs. Melissa read a St. Patrick's Day book, and the kids recited lots of silly limericks.
