Picture a day in May, Day 29: 74 books...
Nana Harmon works as a substitute in the offices at elementary schools in Spartanburg, SC (Aaron's home town) and she has been getting all sorts of books for us to use for homeschooling. There is an elementary school that is closing down and they are converting it into Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4. Otherwise known as "get the children out of the homes of their parents as soon as possible because we can do a better job raising them.". Just kidding...kind of. You may have heard of Pre-K 4-it is like head start for children at risk and those that they feel can help the children catch up to where they ought to be. Pre-K 3...free day care. Any way lucky for us they are doing it because Nana brought us the lasted batch of books-74 to be exact (she has already brought us several others, I posted about a while ago)!!! I am so excited! There are books ranging from electricity and magnetism to the Supreme Court. There are 3 books that will be PERFECT to study during next years election that we will definitely learn about with hands on experience.There are work books and the teacher books that go along with them. Some are for 5 grade and some are for 6th grade-AWESOME!!! There are tons of books about US history and birds and animals...I could go on and on! Jake didn't see them we slipped them in the trunk while he was inside. They are packed a way in my closet with other things that I have been assembling for home schooling. I think we are going to use it all to reveal to Jake he is being home schooled...I am thinking of wrapping it all up and maybe a scavenger hunt...I can't wait! Thank you Nana!
