Shopping Spree

One of my favorite Christmas gifts was a gift card to the local teacher store. I am dangerous in that place. I went yesterday and of course spent more than my card. I found the best thing. You may have already found it, but it was paper in the dry erase material. They have a website with different templates you can print onto the paper. I was looking for something like that to help him learn the states. He can practice and practice without wasting paper.I know I should just use a dry erase board, but I have no where to hang it and leaving it propped up has not worked well with Jack. We have not have the best homeschool set up this year, but that all changes when my husband comes home to teach full-time next year. He moves to the basement and I get his office as our schoolroom. Anyway, that was a great find for me. Also, the Math game 24. Isaac gets bored with the Saxon Fact sheets. I know they are very important, but I was trying to find an alternative to use just occasionally. Well, he beat me by 6 points this morning! So, I had a fun shopping trip yesterday.

Sherrill,

24 is a game that has 4 numbers on the card. You have to add, subtract, multiply, or divide certain numbers to get the answer of 24. Sometimes it may be 3x5=15 7+2=9. Then you add 15+9 to get 24. 1 to multiple people can play. It is fun and really makes you think. There website is www.24game.com.

I have not forgotten you. We have been swamped with adoption paperwork and meetings. I will email soon and have Isaac email Andrew.

Thanks Julie,
I understand how busy you are. I think I mentioned this in my email, but if I didn't and you need a place to lay your head on the West coast, you are welcome here.
