I hope that everyone had a fun halloween. We had a great one. The boys and I just finished reading Peter and the Starcatchers the beginning of this week. We are now started on the second book in the series Peter and the Shadow theives. Everyone is really enjoying these and we highly recommend them.
We are looking forward to a three day weekend. It was SEP conferences this week (parent teacher) and I am proud to report that the boys are both doing fabulous in school. Zach had to set some long term goals for his and one of them was that he wants to be an NBA player. She was great and told him that it is important to have an education to fall back on since you never know when you might be injured but that she thinks that it is good to have dreams. She then told us about a sixth grader that she had a few years back who always told her that he was going to be a famous football player when he grows up. His name is Brian Keel and he has just gone pro this year.
I am teaching the art literacy in Zach's class every month this year and in Jacob's every other month. Last month we studied primitive art. This month we are studying Michaelangelo. This month I have been told that the art projects are fairly difficult and it also happens to be the month that I have the first graders also. Yeah. It should still be fun though. I know that it will be fun. I really enjoyed it last month.
Hope that everyone is planning and able to have a great weekend.
