Year 5 :: Week 6

After taking last week off, we started back again this past Monday. We did 4 days of school work this week, taking Friday off to attend a playdate with homeschool friends.

On Monday, Adrienne had her first meeting with the Canadian Air Cadets. She won't have her uniform for a few weeks, but once she does I will take a picture and share it. She is really looking forward to her first year with this squadron.
