Day Off

Today Elle has a substitute teacher.

Grice requested to skip school today, not because there is a test or some homework assignment she did not complete, but because she has nits. Again. We did the conditioner-comb-through and seem to have caught it in the early stages, not the full-blown infestation of the last time and will stay on top of it. (I'm sympathy scratching -- I hope -- as I type this.)

Damn camp.

In the meantime, both girls requested that Grice teach today's lessons, so I have officially been given the day off. Squeals of delight were heard after I gave her the history lesson plan: Read Story of the Word chapter 13, review questions, oral narration, and additional reading from the Usborne Book of World History (I love this book!) She has asked me why Elle is not writing more of her own narrations and doing as many projects as her sisters did.

Well. We'll have to do something about that won't we?

And in a hilarious turn of events, guess who was offered the position of President of the school's P & C (Parents and Citizens) organization?
