I have finally come up with a schedule that we can give a shot for school in the fall. There are still a few blank spaces but I think we’ll just have to try it to see where the problem areas are. I’m trying to figure out how to post it using google docs. If …
I have been enjoying our break. I’ve done more organizing of my computer files. I’ve been working on read aloud ideas.
