I was sitting here during “snack time” working on setting up our egradebooks for the upcoming school year.  I can't believe it's already August!  Could the summer have flown by any faster?

Our books arrived yesterday and the kids had a blast looking through them last night.

“I just love Arithmetic!” exclaimed Lee (8) as I pulled his Math book from the box.

“Is this mine?” asked Ann(4) when I handed her a 4K writing tablet.  When I nodded yes, she giggled with delight and hugged the book.

Kate(6) actually didn't have much to say, she was sprawled out on the floor amidst her texts looking through them intently.  I heard “oh cool” several times though lol.

Of course Jewel(2) just made her self right at home with everyone's books.

The plan is to begin August 14th.  I have a bit of planning to do before then and I'm sure it will take us a few weeks to establish a routine.  I am in the market for a table though.  The card table we brought with us is inadequate.  We didn't bring their desks (space reasons) or our big chalkboard (which I'd gotten used to using).  But hey, this is an adventure right - we'll adapt.  Hopefully I'll post more “Days at RPA” this year.
