Can it truly be another month already?  Time truly flies faster than I anticipate!  I am enjoying the summer break.  We all really needed it.  We have played in the park, made crafts, read books, rested a lot, and no summer break is quite complete without a stomach flu....wait did I really say that?    Yes, we had a stomach bug, but we have never had a summer bug like that before.  I will spare all the details.  I am getting ready to begin next school year's preparations...all the paper work and filing and planning.  Sadly enough, I get a great start...motivated and excited, but putter out come February.  I am doing a new form of teaching this year with a whole new curriculum, and I pray that it will carry us steadily through the year.  We are using My Father's World, and Right Start Math.  It requires a lot more hands on for me than last year, but it is what I want.  It is what we all need.  I better run.....this beautiful day is just waiting for us to enjoy!!
