Today was a rather difficult day. No one felt like being in the classroom, so I quickly redid our schedule to include some fun. The morning was spent working on math and writing exercises. Then we went to the library to check out books on Earth for Aiden and Ben Franklin for Zoë. The afternoon was spent baking cookies and listening to a litany of facts from Zoë about Ben Franklin. One of the facts was that Franklin became a vegetarian so he could save money to buy more books. Zoë decided that was reason enough to start public libraries.
The cookies were interesting. They came from a mix and were really more about coloring and forming cookies into any shape you want than tasting good. We had ducks, compound volcanoes, flowers, cookies with names on them, umbrellas, etc. After they cooked everyone got to eat one. Of course Aiden picked his volcano to eat since it took up almost half of the pan. After a few bites he said to Zoë, "you want this? These are crap!" They were tasteless, but they had fun making them and messing with mixing colors.
