Getting Ready For the First Day of School

You know it's time for school when you sit on your bed on your laptop requesting books from the library. School starts tomorrow for Higher Learning Academy. We are going to use this week (a short one as we are off of school on Friday) to review and get back in the swing.

Next week we dive into our new curriculum for this year. My Father's World Creation to the Greeks. Judging by the 20 or so books I requested from the library we are going to be studying Jewish Holidays and Light.

We have a couple books I am really looking forwIard to and it is a experiment book. I will definitely be blogging more about the book.

But, for this week, we are just getting our feet wet and used to having a schedule again. Dance doesn't kick in to next week and I certainly have been lax about gymnastics. I have until Monday.
