11/17/2003 Archived Entry: "the box!"

My order finally came! Yay! I've spent quite a bit of time looking over all my new materials for Tabitha's lessons. One book didn't ship and it's a Thanksgiving book so I really hope it gets here soon. If not, I guess it will be put away for next year. I have encountered two problems so far. First, my child already broke my folding yard stick. I'm really cheesed about that and am debating about calling tomorrow to order a new one or just use my regular yard stick. I'll only order a new one if they haven't shipped my backordered book and they can ship them together. I can always give the local teacher supply shops a call to see if they have one as well. Secondly, the animals theme unit and the map skills unit would both greatly benefit from a globe. Well, I happen to have an über cool one in the garage but it's a Christmas gift for Tabitha. I don't necessarily want to hold off on our lessons, but I don't want to pull this gift out early either. So, I need to try and figure out what to do about those two units.
The math curriculum is exactly what I'd hoped for. We'll breeze through the first few lessons in no time. We'll use those lessons for us to get used to the teaching method. I also ordered a grammar book which should be helpful in Tabitha's story writing. It's designed to do one lesson a day, 5 days a week, but we'll probably spread that out to every other day or every three days due to her age. I'm really excited to get started!
