Rerun has learned WHY it is important to make sure your Chromebook is plugged in every evening and fully charged in the morning.

If not, you’ll end up doing your work by the nearest available outlet.

I have to be honest – I have my hands full managing the boys, which means that Ane is really on her own when it comes to her classes.

But that doesn’t mean that she is on her own.  The current situation has really illustrated which teachers are trying, which teachers aren’t, and which teachers just aren’t cut out for the job they have.  Ane’s math teacher is the latter.  She cannot explain her reasoning to high schoolers, and should probably teach at college-level.  Which means that Ane, who has issues with math anyway, got easily lost in this class, but managed to ask enough questions in class to keep up.

Plus, she was still seeing CB’s mom, her math tutor, once a month.

Well, she was completely lost again, and online school is terrible for getting extra help.  Thank goodness for CB’s mom, and FaceTime!

Fortunately, she got straightened out, she understands the material now, and we are all happy again.

But if she gets this teacher again next year, I’m going to try to get her moved.

Another Kiwi Crate has arrived that was right up Rerun’s alley!

Behold the Solar Spinner!

Yes, he loved this.  There is a small LED light in the sun (which you can turn off by re-inserting the tab), and then the Earth and Moon are on their own gear.  As you spin the entire thing, the Moon circles around the Earth, while the Earth moves around the sun.  Rerun was thrilled with this one.

He also enjoyed making the paper lantern that came with this kit, but let’s face it, the Solar Spinner is a very, very cool toy!

It was a strange Mother’s Day.  No church in the morning.  No large get-together for brunch or dinner.  Just us.

Just us on a gorgeous, near-summer day, with a BBQ dinner in the backyard.

I am an incredibly blessed mom.
