Chase had hockey practice on Saturday morning, and then Nanaw came to visit in the afternoon. Mama was at the grocery store, and when she got home, she gave Chase various things for lunch, including a cheese and cracker snack, some cheese curds and a Lunchable. Then he ate the rest of his Dairy Queen blizzard from last night and some Girl Scout cookies. Besides being there to visit with her buddy Chase, Nanaw was there to help him finish his math assignment from yesterday and to study for his science and religion tests on Monday. Before they started any of that, Nanaw had him answer quizlet multiple choice and flashcard questions from the two books he's reading in class: Refugee and Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry. The teacher reads the books out loud to the class, and they follow along with the books they keep at their desks. Nanaw got the books and books on tape from the libraries (County and Columbia) but she hasn't been doing much with them, unfortunately. Chase is not getting really good grades on the Roll of Thunder quizzes so Nanaw is reading the book and listening to the CDs so she can help him study the book for the quizzes. Interestingly enough, he seems to really like answering the online multiple-choice questions and the flashcard questions so this is a good thing and maybe he'll do better on the quizzes. Also, Nanaw found a Roll of Thunder packet in his accordion folder that she hadn't seen before so they'll go through that also. He's due for another Roll of Thunder quiz in a few days, and Nanaw will make sure he's prepared for it. So far, it doesn’t seem like there have been any quizzes on Refugee yet, just the vocabulary words from Refugee; Chase has gotten 100s on all of those so far so he has an A+ in that class. After they finished the book quizzes, Chase did the last three problems on his math assignment of mean, median and mode. Then Nanaw quizzed him on religion. She'll quiz him on science tomorrow before the Super Bowl. After Nanaw left, Chase was going to call his friend Hunter to play some video games. At six o'clock, Chase was going over to Cole's house for a sleepover with Cole, Hunter and Drew. They were going to have pizza for dinner. Chase was happy about the sleepover and having fun with his friends.
