Teach Preach Tuesday

Today was day two (of four) for our testing week. It absolutely kills me to think the amount of time, money, energy, resources, etc goes into this. Millions. We tested for four straight hours today. Then straight into classes and a late lunch. I couldn't bring myself to force more material on them... I read to them. (Yes children still liked to be read to in the sixth grade). We are asking so much of the kids and teachers. Wish we could use this time to teach them what's really important. The best you can do is lead by example. Bless their hearts, I hope they are relaxing tonight. 

Here's some Scout cuteness for you. She loves gnawing on her deer antler. (You know you're in the South when).
