"A drawer a day" for the next seven days... That's my goal. I was thinking in the shower and realized that I have approx. seven drawers around the house that are full of junk. Well, they are full of so much stuff that I can't even tell what's in them. I plan to go through one drawer every day for the next seven days taking a before and an after photo of each. Note: I have a big crowd of company arriving at the end of this week and they are staying for a whole week. I am assuming I can do this while they are here, but I might have to skip a few days to be hospitable enough to them. But, if I do stop while they are here, I'll finish up after they leave.
"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
