It’s that festive time of year again! Everyone is hustling to finish their Christmas shopping and wrap those special gifts. There are also plenty of holiday parties and Christmas programs to attend. With all the busyness, it is often difficult to complete a full day of school.

Crazy title I know, but stick with me here. On one of our recent trips (we have had many so they have all blurred together at this point) I saw a sign in a public restroom that said “Avoid contamination”…and then something about washing hands.

The Christmas season is upon us. Every year I set aside at least one entire day to baking. These cookies and sweet treats become gifts to others. They are for the people that I care about but don’t have a personal relationship with. This is my “thank you” to them.

I wish someone would have warned me to this universal fact, moms don’t get sick days. Had I known this over 20 years ago I would have written sick time into my parental contract!

It’s not surprising we feel overwhelmed by language arts curriculum. We talk about the core subjects and we tend to say “language arts” and to some extent we all know what is meant by that. But take a quick look at our website or our catalog and all of a sudden the waters seem much muddier.
