Barns & Noble has a program that We participated in a couple weeks ago. The children understood that it was more about ‘community service’ thank about making money and we also thought that we would include T4L in the project. It was a pretty good experience for the kids and I think that by incorporating T4L they were able to see the link between their school work and life in just one more way.
I want so much for my children. Having T4L curriculum has been a huge success in our house. My boys reference T4L on so many occasions that I could not even begin to count and I am thinking of starting a note book so that I can see in print the overwhelming excitment in not only school work but what they are learning.
Just this morning Quentin was doing measurements and I heard him say “Ahh, so that is how those work”. When I looked over there was a photo of a scale on the screen and he was putting even weights on each side so that it would zero out. The experiences that each boy gets even after the lessons end is wonderful. Zachary had trouble with calenders this morning and was getting so frustrated. I had him go back through his lesson and he got it the next time; just one more benifit to T4L online curriculum.
Our wrapping went well. I would have liked it to go better but it was fine and we had a really good time.
Thanks guys! We did look good!

Tracy this is a great story. I am also amazed at how much Natalie references T4L and only takes the lessons a few times a week after school.
