My New Purchase

I just hit the "order now" button for Teaching Textbooks 6. I am so excited. I think it will be another resource (albeit an expensive one) for Haley in reviewing multiplication and division and learning fractions and decimals. She needs to be more independent next year so this will get her ready to make a smooth transition to TT7. I did major spring cleaning in my desk area today. There is such satisfaction sitting at my desk and surveying my organized and uncluttered desktop. We start back full-time tomorrow - adding in our history and literature.

I Was a Little Bored Today.......

Peanutus Sumus!

We made birthday invitations in Latin using Minimus. It's a fun introduction which everyone is enjoying. It's amazing how much we understand.

A New Year

August 6, 2007 - Our first day back to school! I made Schultute cones (a German tradition) and filled them with the coolest school supplies I could find at Staples - a label maker, art markers, highlighters and pens. And, of course, books. It was like Christmas morning. I wouldn't let them come downstairs until I had the breakfast table set with everything to make ice cream sundaes. Later, we transferred this picture onto T-shirts and underneath it we ironed on the letters, "Home'scool." It was a special day.
