I am SUPER excited about homeschooling; Wiggly, less so. We talk about it frequently and he knows that he's going to be going to school at home, but he tells me he's sad about not being able to see his friends everyday. I feel for him. I told him that there's a group of other homeschooled kids in our community (a VERY small group) and he'd make some new friends as well as keeping in touch with his old friends. He's still going to be in cub scouts and sports activities. I hope he comes around and isn't too upset about taking him away from his social group. Homeschooling is definitely out of the norm for our small, rural community.
We bought the Scotch Thermal Laminator and it was the last one our store had in stock. It has been very much worth the investment so far, mostly for Miss A's preschool activities. The paper activities are going to last so much longer than just plain card stock.
Our laminator in action... Laminating the Chicka Chicka letters for the tree and letter E activities from Erica's Letter of the Week Curriculum.
Ok, I got off topic... on to my laminating adventures!
As I was laminating and trimming, Miss A couldn't wait to try out her new "school stuff". Here's she's working on a lacing card.
I also decided to get the Chicka palm tree and monthly calendar laminated, but had to use our local printing shop because the pieces were bigger than what my laminator could do... I'm really embarrassed to admit this, but I didn't ask for an estimate... it couldn't be more than $30... I've run things through the laminator when I taught school and I know it's not that hard. They called me last week to tell me it was finished... the total is $103. My fault for not asking how much it was going to be before I handed the stuff over. Hard lesson learned... (gulp)
