TWOSday

You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn't spell it right; but spelling isn't everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count. Winnie the Pooh

I've been posting a pooh quote a day on my Facebook. I wonder if I can keep it up until Mike is home. Anyway, this quote sort of sums up this day.

It started with an exploding grain mill and ended with a basketball hoop on top of Jared. ::snort::  In between we read 30 pages from Undaunted Courage, took spelling tests, worked on math, played phonics games, mailed a package to Mike, dropped CDs-that-are-not-stuck-in-the-laptop off at the library, picked up Arielle's glasses, visited a Y100 store, updated a Prayer calendar for a local retreat, prayed and began sketching out some teaching sessions for a local retreat, interviewed with potential regional team members, emailed Chaplain advisers, researched Air Force AFI's, made it home in time for the dinner I'd put in the oven before I left home, enjoyed family circle....working on a fun system. Here's a photo of our devotions....
Mike has just Skyped. I'm outta here.

What are you using for Spelling?

Using? Paper, pencil, words. ::snort::

Seriously, I got rid of spelling power (a very good course but we never found time to implement it) and went with MCP spelling.

Are you reading Undaunted to all the kids? I was going to read it outloud the last time we studied L&C, but the kids (except Amanda who was doing her own thing at that time) were all too young...
