We didn't have no gifted programs.

Which is why I never took advanced Bio when it was offered to me in 8th grade b/c I wouldn't be with my friends.<BR/><BR/>That is all.

Not too many resources around here - bleah.Velmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425566563311066790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-67753695557675549382007-09-18T09:56:00.000-04:002007-09-18T09:56:00.000-04:00Don't let Primo get ripped out of any of the gifte...Don't let Primo get ripped out of any of the gifted programming--he's too smart to not get every little bit of time and attention that's coming to him.

Something is DEFINITELY in retrograde.<BR/><BR/>We are reading <I>A Wrinkle In Time</I> in the evenings as a family (having finished the boy's pick, <I>The City of Ember</I>, which is being made into a movie HOW COOL IS THAT?) but I don't think the kids are all that into it.<BR/><BR/>I have not enjoyed many of L'Engle's adult novels. I do like the Crosswicks Journals, though.Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08612452005428621885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-24342525220543947902007-09-17T22:26:00.000-04:002007-09-17T22:26:00.000-04:00I loved WInd In The Door (the sequel - is it still...I loved WInd In The Door (the sequel - is it still the sequel if there are more books in the set?) more than Wrinkle - but Calvin is absolutely scrummy in that one.<BR/><BR/>Y'all are KILLING ME with your suppers.

I'd try to avoid that person, if I were you. <BR/><BR/>I'm just sayin', is all.<BR/><BR/>Your dinner made me hungry, and I thought mine of chicken parmigiano with penne and roasted green beans was mighty tasty. Now I'm craving sauteed peppers.cupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116838567343233668noreply@blogger.com
