Read the second chapter out of Story of Science. It was kind of long and not super interesting, so there was much complaining. Hopefully it will get better soon. Too much setting the scene, not enough action. Mostly about Copernicus.
Catherine day. She had me help her with a little bit of Khan. She totally finished division and is now onto fractions! Happy day. Seth is still inching toward 100%, and Aaron is all in for Zoombinis.
For their projects Seth worked more in Roblox, Aaron colored some pictures of Minecraft guys, and Catherine had to reconsider. Honeysuckle doesn't bloom here until May or June. Instead she discovered willow bark tea. After watching a couple of videos, she rushed outside and returned with some bark from our tree. Less than an hour later she had a completed product! Ours turned red for some odd reason. She thought it tasted good. The rest of us thought it tasted like a tree. She also used it to wash her face since it has salicylic acid in it. She's very, very excited!
We also came up with 5 questions for her book club meeting on Matilda. I won't be there to help host so she's doing her best with the help of my friends. As for piano lessons, she was surprisingly terrible. We discussed practicing and hopefully she'll be more motivated this week.
At lunch we watched a Physics Girl on how mirrors flip things, a Ted Ed on how our bodies fight viruses, Mark Rober on egg drops and field goal kicking, Extra History on the polio vaccine, and a video on sound waves. Seth also watched a video on music and math featuring Beethoven (TedEd).
She also had her Primary Activity that evening. They each made a little felt purse, which she was so proud of. She promptly gifted it to Elise, who was thrilled. Seth played Minecraft with the deacons since it was dumping rain outside.
