Mt. Pleasant Classical Academy

I have been sicker then sick the past 3 weeks; first I had bronchitis, then the flu, and then in the middle of the flu I came down with the stomach virus my kids had. Last week I celebrated….no, I didn’t go out drinking and dancing but just enjoyed the days knowing, or thinking that I was healthy since I didn’t need any medicine to help me combat some ailment. Then on Friday my throat began to get itchy, and a good ole’fashion cold came on me. Yesterday was a wash-out but the boys knew the routine and read and read. That’s what they’ve been trained to do when Mom is either sick or away.

It works. Amazing how kids can be trained.

Today I was able to try out our new schoolroom. Ahhh, it worked great. ScienceKid and I did math at the table with the sun streaming in, while MilitaryKid sat at his desk looking up English words steming from Latin roots in the dictionary. We did a little school-seat work in other areas of our home but I think that’s because everyone is still adjusting to the new organized space. Later the boys moved into the living room and I listened as ScienceKid read Lord of the Ring to MilitaryKid on the sofa. So nice. It was a good school day. What a great journey!
