NEW BLOG!

Now that we've left Egypt, I feel a need to record what we did there so when we look back on our time we'll remember it wasn't all homeschool and sleeping. I'll continue to post to this blog until I catch up to the time we left Cairo in June 2010. Our new blog will pick up from that time forward.

We're proud of you too, Critter!

Critter has the most AR points in his school so he was awarded a prize for his efforts. Here are some pictures with his "prize." In case you don't know what AR stands for, it means "accelerated reader." The kids read books and then take quizzes on them to make sure they actually read and understood what they read. Then they are awarded points based on how they did on the quiz and the level of difficulty of the book. Let me just say, he didn't get the most points in the school by reading the kind of book he was awarded. Good thing he didn't read the books just to get the prize at the end because I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have read anything if he knew this would be the end reward. When he arrived home from school, like a great big brother, he promptly gave it to Nic.
