Its official, we have started schooling again. Slow and tedious but we have started. Joey is doing 2nd grade writing and languages. He will beging 3rd grade math and other 3rd grade books.
We have been super busy doing errands and a couple classes. Thursday Joey went to a kids cooking class, they made fruit punch with real fruit and confetti bars which is cookie dough baked with lots of gooey stuff on top (marshmallows, sprinkles, chocolate chip pcs etc.) It was very yummy and I enjoyed the samples they brought the parents. Today, Saturday was art class. They made this adorable door hanger with a monkey on the front. The kids used paints, wood pcs and more paint. It was messy and so fun. While at Michaels they were clearanced out the summer crafts and items. We got several good things PLUS a handmade floral wreath and M&M'S stationary (from the $1 bin) for $14.00 The summer floral wreaths were 90% off... so it was a grand total of $3.99. No way was I going to leave that.
After some more errands we ended up at the Teachers Store. Joey got a 3rd grade science book plus a 3rd-4th grade "solution to bordeom" book. This book has brain teasers and puzzle type activites that are still learning based.
Tonight I think we may stay in, do a couple crafts and then some school work. I also need to get the house clean and decide if we are moving or not (probably not). I also can wrap some of Joeys B'day presents if time permits.
Its so hot here we haven't even been going to the pool. Hopefully it will cool off soon and we can head up there for the afternoons.
Catch ya all later. |
