I was organizing Stella's desk when I got home from work while Stella was outside playing this afternoon. My lil girl is a pack rat, she loves to keep everything. I tactfully organized so that she wouldn't miss too many of the things I put in the garbage. I also pulled out the arsenal of books that Stella has yet to read and put the stack of books that she has read to the side. I promised that once we got started on this stack of book we could head to Barnes and Noble and pick up a new book for every one that she reads from now on. She got really excited and wanted to get started right away. I also started looking online today for summer workbooks and comparing different learning structures and trying to find the ones closest to the one she uses in school. Mrs Boyat (Stella's teacher) made a few suggestions as well so I think we will have plenty of material to work on this summer.
Summer vacation or not we're going to be learning all we can. :)
It's a little more tidy, but it is Stella's space and as long as she keeps it clean and some what uncluttered I'm a happy mama.
