When Mama brought Chase over to Nanaw's house on Monday morning, she told Nanaw Chase said he wasn't feeling well and wasn't sure he could go to school. He said his stomach felt funny, he had a headache and his nose was stuffed up. Mama encouraged him to at least try to go to school but he said he'd better not. Mama called the school secretary to tell her Chase wouldn't be at school. Then she emailed Chase's teacher to ask her to put together Chase's work for the day, especially the materials for tomorrow's reading test so that Mama could pick up the work. Mama brought the materials over to Chase at Nanaw's house, plus soup and crackers for Chase's lunch, and after breakfast, Chase started working on his homework. The first picture is Chase having Chicken and Stars soup and saltines for lunch. Chase worked on his religion assignment and his social studies assignment. Then he started on the book report he had to write on the novel The Best School Year Ever. The teacher had given the students what she called a rubic -- an outline of how to write the book report. It was really cool, and Nanaw liked the idea. The rubic also detailed how many points each section of the book report was worth. Chase decided to take a nap, and he slept for two hours. Nanaw took the second picture below of him sleeping -- very cute and he covered himself up with the blanket. After his nap, he finished the book report, and then he and Nanaw started studying for the reading test. There were 36 questions to go over; Chase knew the answers to almost all of the questions. In the evening, Chase and Mama went over the questions Chase had missed, and he gave Mama the correct answers. Nanaw was impressed that he had remembered which questions he missed. The third picture is of Chase in his bed right after Nanaw took him home. He never lies in his bed so that meant he really didn’t feel well. In addition to studying the reading questions with Mama, Chase also did the science worksheet in preparation for Wednesday's science test.
