Yet another first day of school in the books. We're so grateful that, for most of us, it was an ordinary start to an ordinary year. No masks. No protocols. Just lots of reading, writing, and math with a sprinkle of outdoor hockey, link'in logs, poetry, and catechism. Most importantly, there were Root Beer floats, our traditional first/last day of school drink. 

We have high hopes for the year:

    learn some Latin

    study Canadian history and mapping

    do a lot of science experiments

    study poetry, composers, art, and good literature

    read and talk and read and talk some more

    drink yummy drinks and read some more

    throw in a lot of math and English and then read some more
