Tues. March 17

By 7:30am,Connor ran a mile on the treadmill, finished writing his Mystery story, and read a chapter in the book The Witch of Blackbird Pond. During 8am Mass we learned about ST. Patrick (of course) and celebrated Father Schifferli's 64th anniversary of being ordained. It was a lovely Mass. Then I drove Connor to Impact HS Academy. During Drama they assigned roles for the play. Connor is playing "Hopeful." He has a ton of lines, he says. In Chemistry they experimented with invisible ink and took a test on Chemistry vocabulary. He scored 100%. In writing, they did peer editing of their mystery stories. I had already edited his story, so Connor was ahead of the group. We then went to Chinese class. We are now on lesson 17. I've asked the teacher to focus more on conversational Chinese, and less on just compiling a list of nouns to learn. We want to actually be able to speak to others when we travel to China next year. That's about all we did on Tuesday.
