Quarantine - Week 3 Completed

Both girls completed another week of online study.  The teachers kept them busy. Morgan's teachers share the weekly schedule with us. M does a daily morning warm-up, then attends a Zoom meeting with her class to discuss. During the day, she works off of the list of assignments given to her.

During the last 2 weeks, Morgan & I have learned about The Life Cycle of Animals, The Alamo (the field trip that won't be happening this year!), geometry shapes, as well as perimeter and area. Lots of Powerpoint presentations!!

We also enjoyed reading "The One & Only Ivan" (still ongoing) & "Rosie Revere, Engineer" while comparing it to the real "Rosie the Riveters" who worked in the factories while the men were at war.

The girls are waking up early each day.  M & I start with an 8:30am bike ride in the neighborhood; then, R & I go for a walk at 9am.  Schoolwork begins after a late breakfast.  In the afternoons, we try to take a break & get outdoors for a Sonic bike ride (we are averaging a weekly 18-20 miles).

Grades were posted for Q3.  All As for both girls. 

P.S. Poor doggie needs a haircut. He's worn out with all 4 of us home all day.  He follows me around for my workouts - inside and outside.  But, a ball always goes where he goes...
