We've Been Busy

Happy Not Back to School !

Off to a great start this year. Tandem teaching 4th grade and kindergarten this year. I have spent weeks organizing curric. and getting things ready. It's good to be back in our school routine. Summer was fun but the girls really do better with the structure of the school year. Alison is my sleeper so Emily and I get busy with math right away before Alison wakes up. Works out very well.

I was pleased yesterday. After the girls were finished and off playing the learning continued. They were out in their playhouse, finished with school work for the day, or so I thought. They weren't playing after all. Emily was reading about the Boston tea party for quite a while. Then Alison comes running in the house so excited, " Look!. I counted by tens" Emily had taught her how. She was so proud and talking about what fun math is. Yes!

It's gonna be a good year.

Oshkosh Airshow 2011

The girls had a great time going to the Oshkosh airshow, visiting family and learning about aviation. The best part was Duggy the smile in the sky.

Brave Girl

Sleeping Beauty went well except for the fact that Emily got a pretty bad ear infection. She pushed through it and only missed one show..The second weekend she also had her 4-H presentation day. Emily worked very hard on her project, still wanted to do it even though she was still sick. Dave took the day off and we set off..We get about 1/2 way and Alison projectile vomits all over the Neon. We turn around and go home, daddy gets Alison, me and Emily hop in the van and head out again. She did her presentaion, did a beautiful job..what a little trooper.
