Social Distancing: Day 17


Home School:
Everyone is getting tired of it. Lots of whining today, especially from Charlie. I try to keep their lists pretty light. 30 minutes of math, 30 minutes of language, 20 minutes of reading and then a few chores. 




School House Rock:
There are several episodes on YouTube so I offered this as an option today and everyone seemed to prefer it over other assignments. I think I'll add it to the rotation. Today they "learned" about conjunctions, adverbs, nouns and how bills become laws. 


Bo:
I think Bo is enjoying having his people home. I've never been a huge dog fan so he doesn't get a lot of attention from me. He likes that the other humans in the house actually pay attention to him. 


Things Hit Home Today: Yesterday my parents found out that one of the guys my Dad has been working with on a restoration project at Hotel Manning may have COVID-19. He was in the hospital but no word on exactly why. By the afternoon they were hearing he had tested negative. Well, this morning it was confirmed that he tested positive. My Dad last worked with him on Friday (5 days ago) so we are all anxiously hoping that he remains symptom-free for the next 10 days. It is thought that symptoms of COVID-19 start appearing between 5 and 14 days after exposure.
