Embracing Spring
This is the year. We will laugh gaily through our day (even while completing math lessons!), the children will sing and cry out, “More, more, more!” I bought all of the right curriculum. I have planned all the field trips, and I even have a head start on this month’s crafts. I will dance with a broom, and...
