This is not exciting, but here's the picture of the day. I moved the dining room carpet into the lving room. I challenged the kids to learn the states and capitals---J should be learning this in 5th grade, right? He said, "Huh! Is it on the TAKS test?" Uh! Teaching to the test! I hate it! So I gave some incentive: the first one of them to learn the states and capitals gets $10. J has no interest still, but B wanted to get started right away. So this is why the map is out on the table. $10? I think that's a great incentive!
