For Today… Looking out my window … it’s still dark. I’ve been getting up early and while I hate mornings, it has been a good practice in many ways. I am thinking … about some posts that I’d like to actually write – a post about }pacify{, and planning, and pre-reading. I am thankful ……
We had a lot of busy doings this week as we ambled together. This was Week 4 of Ambleside Online Year 5, Term 3. Because we had a big field trip Tuesday and Wednesday was off altogether, our three days had a large amount of work. Some days that was better than others. Monday was…
