Aug 27 | First Day

DSC_0036Today was so special at our house! Our boxes of materials arrived and we spent the evening unpacking and exploring. I was taken aback at how excited the kids were about the manipulatives!

Many of you touched base with me to let me know your items had also arrived.

So far, here’s what I’ve noticed & heard:

1- One person said the embark link didn’t link-it was just blank. Anyone else with that? Mine works. I use Firefox, try changing browsers if it’s not working

2- I am already annoyed with the counting bears! They are everywhere!! I feel counting bear hostility may be a real issue 🙂

3- I need to organize my stuff! How about you? What are your plans? Bins? An old bureau?

4- I want to keep these separate from the toys scattered all over my house. I feel protective of the materials- they are special and nice and I don’t want to find that map ripped by my 2 year old because I was too lazy to make the kids clean up! Anyone else worried about that?
