Just so we have an arbitrary beginning

We have been doing "school" together since you were 2 years old, for goodness' sake :) In some subjects, you are doing 2nd Grade ( or maybe even beyond? ) stuff, but others, you are still covering the 1st Grade curriculum.

Also, we have decided ( or rather, I have decided ) that henceforth, if anyone asks you what grade you are in, you will say that you are in the 1st Grade, along with  peers your age, just so there doesn't need to be so much explaining to do, and to keep things as simple as possible.

w00t!

I forgot to post this

Last month we read "The Drinking Gourd" for several weeks, and spent time reading and learning about slavery in the 1800s in America, along with reviewing our constellations especially the Big Dipper and how to locate the North Star.

We did some online activities - you loved the one where you could make quilt designs online - when we touched on Freedom Quilts,

and you absolutely loved singing "The Drinking Gourd" every chance you got!

Champion Reader!

Earlier in the summer, we took part in the Abilene Public Library Summer Reading Program and entered all the books we read into a journal.  We read more than the required amount, and have continued recording for our own school purposes.

We handed over our paper and got our Yard Sign!
