Welcome Fall!

Well, thanks to a week of teacher work days, hurricane Isaac and the Labor Day holiday we are back to a  slow start this school year.  My students are fantastic even though my classes are larger.  It should prove  to be a very productive school year.
 
I'm looking forward to getting to know my students through the Family Scrapbook project that they are presently working on.  The scrapbook is a collection of their autobiography, an "About Me" survey and a Life Map graphic organizer depicting highlights of their lives.

At home we have been completing projects that I started at the end of the summer. Dan and I have been re-upholstering stools and chairs and I've been keeping the sewing machine humming.

I love a a chance for a new beginning!  Let us always remember the words of Solomon in Proverbs 1:7 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline."

Have a great Fall!
