Read Ch. 24 from SOTW about James Cook & Australia. Seth realized that this was why English was the primary language in Australia. They also found it funny that Captain Cook never realized he'd found either Australia or Antarctica.
We read the Gift of the Magi story during breakfast as part of Advent. Aaron was able to follow the plotline, which was a happy surprise.
Seth did some Khan academy (he's now 70% done with pre-algebra), finished writing a chapter of his novel, completed his 2nd Unit Spanish quiz, played the piano, and did his typing class. A very involved Seth day.
Aaron did Puzzledom for math and Catherine did Khan.
At lunch we watched Mystery Doug about we know the earth is round, plus Minute Physics about flying into the sun and falling through the earth.
We also read Blockhead (about Fibonacci), The Dragon Prince, and Fred & Ted. Catherine dug out the book Soft Child to reread after reading in her journal that it was her favorite last year.
At dinner we discussed donations and asked the kids if they'd like to donate any of their money. All of them agreed to donate a small amount, which was awesome.
