Closing In

Back from a week of fun and sun in California. I know people don't believe me, but I really missed my kids! I was saddened by not being able to travel with them through the exciting climax of To Kill a Mockingbird. We only have a few chapters left in the novel and I am glad we have another month to proccess it all before school is out. The pace of the class feels much more managable without trying to stuff another book into the last six weeks, which started last week. It seems like the year is over already!
