The first two days went well. The third went surprisingly well, considering. We had a scheduled off day on Thursday. Friday, well, Friday was no school, unscheduled. Monday, we did Circle Time and our regular schedule. Everyone accomplished the assigned work, although some folks needed more, ahem, encouragement than others. At least, that’s what I…
I started Madeleine L’Engle’s The Irrational Season. I’ve been trying to avoid re-reads this year, so I’m thrilled to have some L’Engle I haven’t read.
