Congrats to Dawson I was in that in high school and I didn't do tons of extracurricular activities mainly just AFS, Future Teachers of America: still working on making that a reality :), and volunteered a few hours at the local Y day care center. So not much at all. I'm sure he will get in and even if for some reason he doesn't (which I think would be sad since he earned it) He can be proud that he was asked!!! :) Getting great grades is great and helps getting scholarships and aid for college later if he decides to go that route!<br /><br />Hope you can find the documents for his homeschool classes and all my friend had real problems a few years agoGidget Girl Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608212322775924487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914993724763982306.post-20861301416405058452013-02-10T07:41:41.815-06:002013-02-10T07:41:41.815-06:00PS D, 5, is in love with your panda art and is sit...PS D, 5, is in love with your panda art and is sitting beside me tearing up paper.

Everyone had their cliques and they weren't open to new friends. Not much fun.<br /><br />I hope you're feeling better soon. When my iron count is down, it gives me an excuse to make spanakopita (for the iron in spinach, of course....not because I could eat the whole tray myself in one sitting given the opportunity). :)Erin D - The Usual Mayhemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06026405952306031361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914993724763982306.post-76954370550770324472013-02-10T07:28:16.034-06:002013-02-10T07:28:16.034-06:00We started Write Shop A in the fall and it wasn...We started Write Shop A in the fall and it wasn't clicking at all. My daughter was 5 and I thought it was too early. She's writing better now and I think we will pick it back up over the summer. Do you like it?<br /><br />And girl, I hear you on the co-op! I've tried 2 and neither worked out for what I was looking for. One was very cliquey and new people weren't made to feel very welcome and the other was brand new and very scattered. My daughter enjoyed both a little but mostly because of playground time! We just signed her up for one next year that is a small group that does a lot f subjects around a farm theme. They get to do hands on farming and the leader works that into writing, math, science and a couple other topics. I've already gotten to know the lady leading it and love her. Hoping to meet some other moms too!<br /><br />Keep looking! You'll find something great!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994937261069028024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914993724763982306.post-88098476921606394782013-02-09T20:50:30.529-06:002013-02-09T20:50:30.529-06:00Wow- what a full week!

Congrats to Dawson for a job well done!<br /><br />The panda newsprint thing looks cool, and your China study is making me want to do one too!<br /><br />Regarding co-op, hang in there. Be willing to start a conversation with someone - they may be introverts or shy. Our co-op is a mix of both learning and socializing. I sign Noodle up for stuff I rarely get around to doing at home - with co-op he gets art, formal P.E. and time with firends. Our park day is the same day so most of our socializing happens all in the same day!Praying it will get better for you!<br /><br />Also, feel better soon!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479304857245688749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914993724763982306.post-52022222111983140222013-02-09T16:06:09.745-06:002013-02-09T16:06:09.745-06:00Is that their cheerleading outfits?

My friend and I were AMAZED at the SHORT skirts they wore! It was very tacky and inappropriate!<br /><br />Congratulations, Dawson! That's wonderful news about NHS!<br /><br />Awesome on the pizza incentive! And it's not even that expensive! Woot!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06441870348048026971noreply@blogger.com
