Week 3, Day 15 of the CrononaCrazy Day Drills

FRI-YEA!  We tried to put an energetic spin on today.  Trying something different, we listed everything we needed to do for the day on the white board. Starting with Olivia we were able to randomly pick a task and tackle. 

The order? Hot dots/xtraMath first. That is what we typically start with, so not surprised they went with that. It's a good warm up for the day and also teaches us that school is all about schedule and order.  This is what we typically do and they like to have order. 


Second, Bible Time. Today we learned about how the world started and the Garden of Eden. 

Next, we went to Math. Isaac had a test and Olivia said she was done with her assigned work (she was) and so I gave her some worksheets from a workbook I have here at home.  After that, we went to lunch! It wasn't on the board, but the kiddos didn't let me forget about it. 

A cool thing I found on PBS was a kid version of COVID-19 in a video.  They watched the entire thing and seemed pretty interested in what he had to say. The didn't understand the 6 feet rule applied to only people outside our home, so we talked about that. We also discussed why it's important they stay home when I run to the grocery. Of course they wanted to know when this would all be over.  Still didn't have a good answer for that. Probably not before June 1 would be my guess. 

Gym rocked. It's beautiful at 65 degrees here today. We set up my laptop and did Ruthless exercise video outside. Then we all went for a 3 mile walk.  It was perfect to step outside and escape the house. 

The pic of the bat and broom? Well what do you do when mommy is online working and you're bored? Apparently you throw rocks on the top of the pool tarp. Then you decide how to get it off before mom sees the rock. So you try to reach with a ball bat. That doesn't work and you lose the bat too.  So you get a broom. Except you lose that out in the middle too. They you resort to going and getting mom. UGH. 

We finished up today with reading and spelling. Both had tests in both subjects. It took us a good 1.5 to complete our reading assignments with both kids today. The good news is that next week is spring break for half the week, so we will have a nice break and some easy catch up time.  We didn't get to Olivia's closet or Social Studies today, so we'll chip away at those assignments this week and next week. Happy Fri-YAY!
