On Tuesday morning, Nanaw reminded Chase about his pinky-swear promise yesterday that they would study for Wednesday’s Math test after school on Tuesday, and he agreed. When Mama brought Chase over to Nanaw’s house, she told Nanaw that she and Daddy were going to the AC/DC concert at the Dome next Tuesday. She said she had wanted to invite Nanaw to go because Nanaw likes AC/DC so much but knew Nanaw would have trouble managing the long walk and climbing up to the seats. Nanaw was sad about that but knew that Mama was right. So Nanaw got out her AC/DC CDs and played one of them on the ride to school, much to Chase’s dislike. She also did the following post on Facebook:
“Ellen and Will are going to the AC/DC concert next week at the Dome. So Nanaw dug out her AC/DC CDs to play on the drive to Gibault, much to Chase's dismay. He also disapproved of Nanaw dancing in the driver's seat. Best drive to school ever!”
Today was the daylong retreat at Valmeyer for the Gibault freshman class. When Nanaw picked Chase up from school, she asked how the retreat was, and Chase said it was good. He said they played games, heard speakers (teachers and students from Gibault), went outside for recess where he played wiffle ball, and ended up going to church in Valmeyer. When they got to Nanaw’s house, Chase did his Civics homework. Then he and Nanaw studied for Wednesday’s Math test, as he promised they would do. When they started studying, Nanaw reminded Chase to go back over the test and make sure he had done all the problems. (On the quiz two weeks ago, he forgot to do one of the problems.) She also reminded him about going back to check his work if he had time. They studied his notes from class on evaluating expressions and equations, writing word problems algebraically, and naming the set or sets to which a group of numbers belonged. He seemed to understand most of the material and promised to go over his notes again tonight and during his free time tomorrow.
