Here it is at last! Awesome teachers, more responsibility, more things to carry, more things to learn.
So beautiful!
My classes this semester are: Spanish, Physical Education, Pre-Algebra, Social Studies and English.
August 29, 2012 (Wednesday) – Back To School Night
[Meeting teachers and learning about her school schedules and the things they’ll learn. So much to look forward to. They’ll have a much heavier homework load and will need to be responsible for their assignments, study and projects. All of her teachers are excellent but I was particularly happy to see one her teachers from 6th grade teaching them English. Her math teacher is superb! I’m very excited to have richer and deeper conversations about these subjects – I will try to supplement the course material with documentaries, movies, literature, music, National Geographic magazine articles, visits to the museum and other events. She’s starting to piece together the music, religion, science, inventions, food, customs, history, events, wars, and breakthroughs of particular periods of our civilization. The main point is that all these dimensions inform and interact with each other going down through the ages.]

Daily Class Schedule
The recommended amount of weight kids should be carrying in their backpacks is 10% to 15% of their body weight. I’m keeping an eye on how much she’s carrying in her backpack on a daily basis to school.
