Josh is the first one to have his costume ready this year, only because he keeps bugging me about when he is going to get it! Sydney is 1/2 way done with hers, I am making Averie's mermaid fin today, and we need to work on Kallie's next week. Not to mention Jason and I have to come up with something "simply smashing" for a party next Friday. I don't have enough time! But, who does?
Joshua jumped into the car so excited and said,"I won Math Around The World"! In his math class they played this game where one kid stands by another kid and the teacher will give a math fact. The first kid who answers correctly wins and moves to the next kid, etc. Josh made his way around the whole room and won! I am especially proud because I stink at math. I think we may have broken the cycle of math retardation!
This was another busy week. Kallie went to JA Biztown in Tempe for a fieldtrip. They had 19 lessons to prepare them to go. They learned all about how money "travels" through the economy, including paying taxes. The "town" was set up with a bank, insuance agency, cafe, grocery store, news & T.V. studio, radio, delivery center, construction office, surf shop alot of other stores and you can't forget City Hall! Kallie was in the travel agency. They got a "paycheck" after working hard in their jobs and got to go to the bank and deposit their check, set up a savings account, and spend money in the town. It was such a great experience. There were even CEO's for each company and the CFO's kept track of all the accounting stuff for their business on an easy computer program. The kids loved it! I had a great time too. I was helping out in the Allstate Insurance.
