Math - Keira's math lessons came from Life of Fred this week. She learned some algebra concepts from the book, and practiced the concepts on the following days with worksheets.
ELA - She read from the Dragon Slippers books, & from a pamphlet she was assigned in her Scholar class at co-op, called The Law. She also spent time every day doing Constitution Journaling, and one day this week she spent time working on creative writing.
Science - Given the circumstances happening this week we played the Pandemic game, and watch covid-19 educational videos from YouTube to understand pandemics a little better, and this particular virus.
Portuguese - We had more reviews of the words microwave, toaster, and other kitchen words.
Music - She spent every day practicing the piano and violin, and also had lessons from both the piano and violin teacher at some point during the week.
GARRETT
Math - Garrett did several lessons from Life of Fred this week. He's making good progress, and enjoying it.
ELA - He read from Phantom Tollbooth nearly every day, and did a few lessons from The Good & The Beautiful that focused on reading comprehension. The day of co-op Garrett wrote an article about The Boston Masacre for a newspaper project they're working on.

FAMILY
Things got more and more crazy as the week went on. On Thursday, March 12th, the governor asked people not to meet in groups larger than 100 people. Lots of conventions, sporting events, and even church was cancelled! Then on Friday, March 13th, public school got cancelled! Life just got totally different for EVERYONE! Soo... we kind of took Friday to decompress a bit. We played the game Pandemic (and won!), and then went on a nature walk around the Benson Marina with Dad (who is now working from home).
We have been working on tearing out our tile to put down laminate wood floors, so we continued to work on that over the weekend, as a family.
On Sunday, March 15th, we had our first experience as a family having church at home. It was a special time together. Keira played the opening hymn on the piano, I played the sacrament hymn on the piano, and dad played the closing hymn on the guitar. We watched Book of Mormon videos and had a lesson and activity about this week's Come Follow Me material. We talked about "looking beyond the mark", and played a bean bag toss game to illustrate the point.
