School Starts

Man, have I gotten behind again! Too many projects and too little time these days. It seems to be getting worse!

It's almost two months ago that school started. Audrey is in third grade and Charlotte in first grade this year. They both like their teachers. Carol and I went to open house a week or two after school started and met them; we have conferences next week so we'll get to know them better.

Charlotte is getting better and better at reading and also learning addition. Audrey is learning multiplication (and teaching it to Charlotte). Audrey can't get enough of reading: every night we have to harp on her to stop reading and go to sleep.

In third grade students can start taking instrument lessons at school. Audrey chose cello and she has a rental instrument for the year. She is thrilled. Unfortunately her lesson is on Tuesday and the past two Tuesdays have been a field trip (to the Museum of Science) and an early release day. She has been very disappointed and looks forward to her second cello lesson next Tuesday.
