Saturday, So What

Today Marko took the next level of the Scratch programming class on Outschool. Like Max, he loves taking classes where he can see other students on the video feed. He took the first level a few months ago and was delighted that the teacher remembered him. 

Laurel had to pick up her Girl Scout cookies so she can distribute them to her customers. This involves lots of counting and recounting, sorting and making thank you notes. Next she has to plan a delivery route and contact everybody by phone or email to schedule a time for delivery. She was able to deliver some to the neighbors on our block, who all really stepped up to support her this year. 

Max spent a long time this morning copying his chores from the 3x5 index card I laminated for him. I did not tell him to do this, but it is basically a copywork assignment that he did on his own. His handwriting is still a mix of capital and lowercase, but he has pretty good control over his pencil. 

It was Saturday, but still a day full of learning, some of it planned, some not.

The house smells amazing now because we roasted a chicken and some parnips and carrots for dinner. M went for a run and I went for a walk. I did all the laundry and I'm ready for a day of rest tomorrow.
