"I am a reader"

D was eaten by a bookshelf........He is okay. The empty cabinet he was playing with fell on him with the doors open. Somehow they closed as it was going down trapping him inside. He was on the floor inside the cabinet with the doors closed. Scared but unscathed.

B is having a rough time this week with being away from her friends in York. "I want my real friends at my real school" She cried again after school today. So very sad, but all we can do is give her more time.
She has decided to be a scientist so we got her a journal to write her observations in. So excited! I discovered today that her school does not work on writing skills. So frustrating!! My kid is so far beyond where the rest of the school is right now she is getting bored. I really hope this does no turn into a behavior issue. There are so many programs for kids who need help getting up to speed but so little for kids who are in the fast lane. UGGGHHH! No Child Left Behind also means no child gets ahead. What happened to supporting our kids?!!
The least restrictive environment is supposed to be for all kids! The teacher actually said she is not supposed to work on writing skills with the class, but sneaks it in when she can. I read some good things about Baraboo Schools, now i am beginning to wonder. She is reading at about first or second grade level, give her a little more of a challenge! More than once she has read some sign to me in public and has been asked if she was in second grade.

Finished a couple of sundresses this week, bright sunny blues and yellows to go with the snow. I like sewing and wish I could do more,( or at least sell enough to support my habit!). The flower pin was more work than the dress!! I live where crating supplies are not readily available, so a little more creativity is in order. Mail order may become critical here. Anyone want to order a dress?
