<br>
From the start of the review, I was scared &quot;yes!&quot; was going to be a stupid moral of always go to bed when you&#39;re told! but it wasn&#39;t!  even
the title is positive.  (gotta put up with the review, though, lol.)

For science we are doing life science, we are learning about reptiles and insects, some arachnids. We read an Armadillo book today. We practiced addition and
subtraction, fractions, money, and telling time. I really need a good first secind grade math book. We are doing reading and writing too. I need some
inspiration for season related art, science, and reading projects. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ My son is 2 years old, and we are already having fun learning the alphabet and associating pictures with words and I read alot of books to him (sometimes
almost 15 a day, he loves books)
<br>
 
<br>
I was wondering if there was a more organization in learning, such as when do we start teaching maths etc.
<br>
<br>
Who knows, I was brought up in the public education system and have spent ages unschooling myself. Maybe this is a question I am asking only because of that. ]]></description>

We are going back to Public school this year. We had a fantastic year last year and expect it to go as well this year. We don&#39;t need to buy supplies
because te school does this for us after we pay a 20 dollar fee. We do have to shop for clothes this year though. DD has really grown! ]]></description>
