New Material

Another week has passed.  I learned an interesting lesson today.  My popcorn sack was not in the PTA cabinet.   We didn't get popcorn.  Oopsie!  Sad lesson for my kiddos.  I have forgotten before, but the popcorn ladies have always made sure they had it.  I will have to be more aware.  Bummer!
We studied Kk & Ll this week.  We looked at ladybugs, leaves, and key rubbing.  The kids did a ladybug puzzle and it will go into their memory books.  We have a slow start on their memory books this year.
 I made up a book for my kiddos to practice writing the uc and lc letters.  I stole this from an idea to write the numbers to 100 that we used last year.  They get 2 minutes to write their numbers to 100.  They will get 3 minutes to write the uc and lc letters.  It is usually so quiet during this time maybe I should change that to 5 minutes.  HMM!
I had a little boy with horrible attendance.  I was told that the mother called and said that she was going to take him out and home school him for a year because she thought he was too immature to go to school.  To me that sounds crazy.  Well, Mom and Dad were at school getting him back in since he missed about a week solid.  Since I talked to them I think it was the grandmother who was keeping him and not sending him to school because he would cry.  He will do so much better at school.  I am excited he will be back on Monday.
My material I ordered for curtains for the sewing room arrived.  So cute!  I want to get in their and sew, but it is really torn up.  I have an order to make for a friend and I need to sew for the store.  I will be busy this weekend.
It was just in the high 50's this evening.  I had a fire in the fireplace.  We didn't have much wood in so the fire died out fairly early.  Boo Hoo!  But, I enjoyed it as long as it lasted!
