Life in the Time of Corona (Days 35-40)

4.20.20 (Monday):

We picked up a bat box kit from curbisde pickup at Home Depot for n’s mammal merit badge. He built it and hung it in our tree, although I do not really want any bats to come-ha!

k’s science teacher gave her an award for her hard work in Distance Learning.

Since it is a “virtual” award, the school had us send in a picture with her holding a blank piece of paper and then they made a Google Slide with “I’m a Distance Learning Superstar!” superimposed on the picture–ha!

4.21.20 (Tuesday):

n made a megaphone for his music class.

Someone sent us a game called Cat Crimes. It is a fun one-person game if you like logic games.

4.22.20 (Wednesday):

Today n took his math placement test for next year. Both my kids were happy about state testing being suspended, but n still has to take a two-part test to determine which math class he is in for 6th grade. The first part was 80 minutes long.

4.23.20 (Thursday):

n took the second part of his math placement test.

We were watching American Idol and I saw that the granddaughter of my jazz band teacher auditioned. She made it through to Hollywood, but I am not sure how far she went (it was an old episode).

4.24.20 (Friday):

n had his second online speech therapy session. (He is still working on his “r” sound). I think he is actually receiving more help this way than before because it is an individual session.

Big shopping day: I went to Zion AND Target! I had to wait outside in a line at Zion before entering. At Target, there was no line to enter, and masks are required for customers.

The weather turned hot, as in mid-90s! We had my favorite dinner on a hot day: somen salad.

At night we had our online church small group meetings. Our internet is not the fastest though, so we experienced some technical difficulties.

4.25.20 (Saturday):

n’ s soccer coach asked his team to make up a soccer challenge video, so this was n’s video:

Our weekend treat was having D pick up Raising Cane’s for lunch. It was our first time trying it out. We thought that the quality of the chicken was good, but we thought it need a little “spice”.

We watched the Robert Downey Jr. Dr. Doolittle movie, and were not too impressed.
