The curriculum we ordered for next year arrived today. The kids were pretty excited to see that big delivery truck in the driveway....right up until they figured out what was in the box. They weren't too disappointed in the end, since my younger ones had been hoping to move onto computer-based work, and that is what was in the box. Still, they would probably rather have seen any number of other gadgets coming out of that package.

Funny to be getting things for next year already. We are all looking forward to a bit of a break. We will be targeting reading comprehension this summer, using some of the tools from my life as a speech pathologist. I've been really excited over the past month to see the changes in my daughter's reading comprehension with the little bit of extra work we've been able to squeeze in. I can't wait to get some more time to help all of them get that extra reading edge!
