Picture of the Day

"Lost and Found" Box for Kyra's classroom.
(explanation...one of our biggest issues with Kyra's ADHD is her impulsiveness. One of her biggest weaknesses (impulsively) is taking things that don't belong to her (ie stealing). So, her teacher suggested (in passing) that Kyra make a "lost and found" box for the classroom, so every time she finds something she can put it in the box. Then the kids who are missing things can go through the box looking for their lost belongings. Kyra, trying to be a big helper, decided to go ahead and make a box. Got to give the girl some credit for trying. )

Time just keeps on ticking!

I just finished registering this fine young man for HIGH SCHOOL!!!! He starts his sophomore year at the high school next fall. I can't believe it. Where has the time gone? It seems like it was just yesterday that HE was in 4th grade (like his sister). He has done pretty well in middle school, so hopefully he will have a successful high school experience as well. I just can't beleive though, that he is ready to start!
