Hall Pass

Wow, nearly a month later. Sheesh, I won't be getting any consistency awards ;-)

Exciting news around here. Loral and I will be teaching some sewing classes at a newly opened fabric store in town. We are thrilled about the store because the only other option for fabric is WalMart. I will be teaching a patchwork bib, t-shirt dress and decoupage denim class.

We're getting back into full swing of home school. We're using the Konos Obedience box. I really like the program. We are just supplementing phonics,spelling and math. Farmgirl is using Modern Curriculum Press for math and Spectrum(G4) for spelling and phonics. Jedi and I are working through Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons by Engelmann, Haddox and Bruner. Jedi was elated when he read his first word - me. Baby is just along for the ride. I give her a mini reading from Jedi's book.

Off to finish school.

Very cool that you guys got a new store and can teach there. Glad to hear home school is going well as well. I am not a fan of the public schools and or teachers at them. Somewhere in all of them there are a few good people however I think mom's know there children best and can teach them more and sounds like you found some great tools.
Isabella loves Pre-k and is a bundle of fun. Henry is well we think he was a polar bear in a prior life. He is so big, fun and a true blessing.
Cheers to the family and good luck with the fabric store teaching too!
