Today for reading we read Ch 16 of SOTW about Newton & Locke. Seth remembered a lot about Newton from his physics reading.
For math Seth ran through Exploding Dots. He made it to advanced algebra, then hit a part that neither of us could figure out. It really frustrated him, but Jon went through it with him that evening and they figured it out.
Aaron worked on Math Bingo for multiplication and division.
Catherine was more interested in sorting pumpkin seeds, so I asked her to guess how many pumpkin seeds we had to roast. It ended up turning into a family competition, with everyone logging estimates. Jon helped her use the kitchen scale to weigh 100 seeds, then weigh all the seeds. She struggled a bit with how to do some of the math, but once she took a few minutes to think, she got it figured out. We ended up with around 2700 seeds, which was more than double even the highest guess!
Each of them got on Family Search and found three ancestors that they might like to report on for our Dia de Muertos party on Saturday.
Seth has been working on his Roblox game called Infection. He has a really cool intro now and has redesigned his soldiers and tanks to be more realistic.
They each had to come up with their own Halloween costumes this year because of COVID. Seth wants to be a nerd and pulled it all together himself. Catherine wants to be a skeleton but opted for a Dia de Muertos Catrina after I explained it to her. Aaron wants to be a Stick Wars Legacy zombie and Elise wants to be Aang. Hopefully it will be a simple costume year!
Catherine, Aaron & Elise spent the afternoon building and playing with Magnatiles. They had an entire civilization set up (based loosely on Avatar).
