AT 5, SHE'S ALREADY MASTERED THE BAR SCENE

So far, so good on kindergarten. Maddy loves it. She says it gets over too fast, which is a good sign, and we’ve noticed a marked improvement in her coloring already. We love it that they’re teaching Saxon phonics and Saxon math, the tried-and-true curriculum we wish all children could have. And we love it that there’s plenty of art, music and play mixed in.

The other day, Maddy came home all bubbly about something new she had learned in school that day.

Hmm. What? Calculus? Conjugating French verbs?

Noooo. She exulted, “I can hang upside down from the bar! And I can go down the poles!”

Look out, Oxford. If you ace recess in kindergarten, who knows where it may lead?

Praise report: I’ve heard of two Hurricane Katrina refugee families who arrived in our small town in Nebraska with the clothes on their backs and not much else. They already have their children enrolled in school and are receiving an outpouring of help and support. Lord, let Your light shine into hearts that have been darkened by the hurricane with proof that Your world is a good place, with many good people who are going to bear this burden with the hurricane victims ‘til all is calm again. Show them You’ve got the whole world in Your hands. (1 Peter 5:7)
