Wednesday: school, promotions

This afternoon, as part of school, we had a current events time.  I started with a history lesson with how black people were slaves and how terribly they were treated by white owners...and what it meant to be owned.  We hit segregation, and finally got into some of the current events surrounding the death of George Floyd and the protests.  Finally, we read a book suggested by the library.  The boys listened well...much better than I was expecting.  They had good questions.  Obviously, we couldn't get very in-depth in forty minutes, but it is a start.

Today was also promotion day at karate.  They had drive through promotions.  Joshua was pretty excited to get a new belt!
