Tagged on to the end: Chatter from my kiddoes!

Took them to Sea World on Tuesday as a last hurrah before we start in hard with school (we’ve been just doing the basics this week to get our toes wet. July was summer vacation for us). Next week, we’re jumping back in with a vengeance. And I’m so excited because the Austin Nature and Science Center has a great line-up of homeschool classes that are totally up the kids alley. AND, even better for me, the classes for 3-5 year olds is at the same time as the one for 6-8 year olds. BONUS!

That’s going to be the challenge this year, as CEK is doing a mix of all sorts of grade levels (2nd grade by age, anywhere from 2nd to 4th in work), and IYK is starting kindergarten. But I’ve been the organization queen and have been making lesson plans in Bento (I really need to take a one-on-one class at the Apple store. It’s intuitive, but I think I’m doing a lot of things the hard way — the same with Garage Band).

At any rate, the classes look great. Wish I could take them!
