Notes to Self for the Upcoming Term
Yeah, I think I need to repeat the last term. I only preread the boys’ books for the first two weeks, then let it slide. Sigh.
Make Friday teas a pleasant time for everyone.
Preread assigned books on Mondays.
Keep an eye on the goals.
I set the tone: stay cheerful, pleasant, and upbeat.
