As I mentioned in a reply to Cat on my last post, Donna and I have both been excessively busy, but things are slowing down for awhile as of today! Donna is taking summer classes (10 credits) and I'm trying to keep up with everything that needs to get finished before we watch my buddy's business at the end of the month.
The decks were completed today, but I hadn't been taking pictures of the process. They are small, but well-built, and they look really good. Tomorrow I have to get the washing machine up from the basement and into the "new" upstairs laundry room. Yup, they did inside work too.
The test below came in email. I don't usually post this stuff, but some of these just hit me. How practical! This is what makes learning meaningful!
Happy Summer!
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
Schools are finally starting to teach practical math that these kids can use in real-world situations! It's about time!
