Hellllllloooooo Summer! Ahhhhh…..and it feels great!  BUT….that doesn’t mean I’m not thinking about next year!

I can see the end! We have 8 more days of school and summer will be all mine!

Happy Friday! This week FLEW by!  (I’m sure it really flew by for those of you on Spring Break!!)   We had so much to accomplish this week….starting with Math! This week we continued with addition and subtraction, which we have dipped into a few times already this year, but this time we were covering both addition and subtraction within… Read More

OK, so this post has nothing to do with school!  It’s just me being a proud mama right now, so I had to share (and brag a little!) So my oldest baby (not a baby anymore) just turned 4 in January….and he is literally growing up before my eyes! Not only is he writing and reading small words (still a… Read More
