Good and Bad

Good:  We've been doing a lot of Montessori work the past week!

Bad: My internet has been acting up and my computer somehow lost the posts I wrote for Tot School and Montessori Monday!!

Good:  I still have the pictures from the week . . .

Bad:  But I don't have an extra hour right now to re-write the posts.  They'll have to wait until next weekend.

Good:  I have a whole bunch of new materials printed out from Montessori for Everyone - knobbless cylinder extensions, and beginning sound card sorting.

Bad:  I'm out of laminator pouches, so we can't use them until we get to the store!

Good:  I received the sunshine award from Martianne at Training Happy Hearts!!

Bad:  There IS no bad!  I get to pass the award on!  :)
