Summer DA (10-Week Curriculum for Summer 2020)

Summer plans are in the crapper, so "Daddy Academy" (DA) has been pressed into service.  Specifically, Jada and Aaron will have the following on their schedules:

* Watch and write about documentaries (see titles below) - 1-3 hr/day x 5 day/wk

* Read and write about it (see titles below) - 2 hr/day x 7 day/wk

* Khan Academy (various subjects) - 1 hr/day x 5 day/wk

* Chores (various) - 2 hr/day x 7 day/wk

* Walk (alternate treadmill and outside) - 2 hr/day x 7 day/wk

I have writing prompts for all of the material below, so if you're interested let me know and I'll send it to you or post it in this space.  If it helps to connect our children so they can help each other, let me know and we'll figure out how to make it happen. 

Please note that the list below includes some very mature themes.  I have posted some trigger warnings but obviously use your parental discretion throughout and be involved with your children.
