lighting fires & shopping is the test!

Try and imagine the excitement a gift card creates! And one LOADED with big bucks- for my kids, this means a trip to the bookstore. I think the test of mastered arithmetic is for them to shop for the things they want- and figure out if they have enough money. Can your kids round up, figure tax and add in their heads? Happily, and with a little help, my kids CAN.

It was scary to see my kids light a dry leaf on fire with a magnifying glass a couple of weeks ago, but it is even scarier to think of them dependent on outside power; be that a calculator or PG & E.
