The very first ebook is Uncle Tom’s Cabin – I completed studying it this summer time and was extremely moved. There are various parallels to at present’s society. One other choice is Pink Scarf Lady (which I additionally previewed) – such a very good ebook.

Curiosity Led: Drawing

Final yr Grant took Visible Design and Photoshop programs via Excelsior Courses. His instructor recommended he take Drawing for Everybody this fall – and once I recommended it to Grant he agreed straight away!

This can be a .5 credit score course that’s one semester lengthy, so not terribly taxing on his schedule. Additionally it is one thing he’ll ENJOY and that I can see him utilizing together with his love of design.

Household Requirement: Piano

My youngsters have performed piano since elementary college. It’s one thing I really feel strongly about and a non-negotiable in our home.

We agreed that he’ll solely be required to take part within the recitals this yr and never any competitions (his alternative).
