C is sick today. Not really that sick, but he does have a fever. Being C, he was taking his temp before Matt or I were out of bed. Since he's sick, he doesn't have to do schoolwork. I do have him graphing his fever. True, I'm reinforcing his neurotic desire to monitor his temp. But I am also sneaking in schoolwork to a child who is well enough to be playing. :-)

E was bummed about the injustice of it. That is, C is not really that sick but doesn't have to do his work.Plus, she gets blue about not going to school. So, I invited her to join me in my "office" today. Here's a pic of her reading in Sitwells. We've been here for 2 hours or so. I am surprised that she's enjoying being here so much. And I'm surprised how well she's just doing her own thing.
