I am really excited to get back to school! B will be starting Singapore 5B this week and we only have about three weeks left of Teaching Textbooks 5. We are ahead of schedule! :-) Even after having an extremely light end of the year ... I counted baking cookies as our math class one day ... there are fractions ya know! And I didn't want to start the new Singapore book before the break.
I can't believe that it is already January!
Happy New Year from my family to yours!

Happy New Year! Baking is an excellent way to have math class. When I started doing that with my oldest years ago, I wouldn't give him the specific measuring cup called for (if the recipe called for 1 cup of flour, I'd give him a 1/3 cup measuring cup, etc.). Great for getting those brain cells working!
