Weekly Update: 5-24-13

     We only did school for three days this week, but we've read gobs.








   Honor and Grace learned more about the circulatory system.
















The big kids used YourTeacher math.

    Half Price Books had 20% off storewide. Couldn't miss that.

     The highlight of our week?? Cloverton! 

We were able to help with some set-up, hear them warm-up, 

and met them after the concert. The kids were over the moon!

And the end is the beginning.....
