Going great!
Posted in Learning on the Narrow Path

Ahhh. Three days into the "year" and we've already had our first day "off"! Okay, it wasn't a day without school. Dearest works for a company that publishes (among other things) VBS materials. They set up the chapel and several conference rooms at his office as VBS stations and gave the kids of the employees a preview of next year's program. It was great fun for everyone -- even Jon who HATES crafts and songs and participating in anything that anyone younger than him likes! I think Blair enjoyed it more than the rest of them. She's so good at just jumping in and making things fun for herself! Speaking of the dear, she has decided on Geometry and Equine Biology for math and science. I picked her up Teaching Textbooks for Geometry. I've been wanting to see their approach for a while. It's also time for Driver's Ed. Dearest hubby will definitely be in charge of that. Our state is having a tax-free day tomorrow. All school supplies, kid's clothes and shoes are exempt from the state sales tax. Like an instant discount! So, today is list-making day. Checking out the hand-me-downs, school supplies, trying on clothes and shoes, etc. Tomorrow will be an early morning at Wal Mart and Target! I sure hope the crowds don't meet my expectations. (Think day-after-Thanksgiving sale madness.) |
