It's Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump Day!

I titled this post in honor of a very special 3 year old who was in Tarzan with us.  She was an energetic young lady who would come up to me and say, Maria, do you know what day it is?  When I didn't respond quickly, she would say in a low voice filled with great expression...it's Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump Day.  This was followed by the biggest smile and us both bursting into laughter.   What a little ham and such a cutie even though she kept me hopping behind stage trying to keep her busy.
We've been working on the earth's layers in science because Matthew has been interested in learning about evolution.  I couldn't just jump right into that without touching on the earth to lead up such an interesting topic.  He has been busy working on a foldable for the earth and it is looking great.  Besides, we've managed to have a vocab/spelling quiz already, a math lesson and a short discussion about those great Aztecs.  I'd say it's been a productive day and we're not even at 11 a.m.  Soon we will leave for Chorus which is by far his FAVORITE time of day.  And, I get to visit with Monica for 40 minutes which is sometimes my only down time for the day. ( In between his school work, I find myself sending emails for work and making phone calls to check on my foster parents.)
