Quinn had a low grade temperature all week and wasn\’t feeling great so he had a stay at home week. 

His buddy Dan was sick on Monday and Dan\’s mom works so he spent the day with us. 

These two enjoyed their day together.

This is what Quinn\’s temp looked like most of the week.  Hovering around 100.  I took him to the doctor on Wednesday and she thought he looked good and could return to school but Thursday morning his temp was 100 again. 

All the 5th graders do an oratorical which is a 1 – 3 minute story telling.  They can recite a poem, part of a longer story, a speech, or make something up themselves.  Quinn has decided on Fox in Socks by Dr. Suess.  It\’s quite a tongue twister but Quinn has it down — now he\’s working on adding some style to his story. 

On Thursday we finally made it out of the house for some sunshine and fresh air!

I have been in touch with Quinn\’s teacher and writing his assignments each day.  Since he will be out for 5 days he can apply for Independent Study and his absences won\’t count.
