I would first like to apologize for not blogging yesterday. We had a baby shower right after school, and I left in a hurry, because it was my baby's first birthday! Please forgive me... I promise not to make a habit of it. :)

Happy first day of fall!!! The kids had no homework today. We finished the math test and the integrated theme test today, and that took almost all of out math and reading time. We worked on making more detailed sentences, and they described their favorite kind of candy by using their five senses. I will not be here tomorrow, because both of my babies have a doctor's appointment, so check planners tomorrow for homework. Have a great weekend!
