New Year = New Materials

Long time no post!

Last spring we eliminated the internet problem by eliminating the internet!

Here is a quick run down of what we will be doing this year.

My friend’s daughter Mei will be joining us about 2 days each week. Yay! At our house she is studying:

Other (As I don’t have a daughter for whom to plan cool, crafty school things, my friend has blessed me with the opportunity to share Above and Beyond Five in a Row with hers. If used alone, ABFIAR may could be finished in a trimester. I, however, plan to do it lightly on the side and take many rabbit trails. This way the fun may last the whole year.)
