FROM THE EDITOR:
Homeschooling Friends
***Make sure you put out some water for the birds.It is so HOT.
Summer is here in full force. GEEEeeee....it is hard to just stay cool. Feeling like a lizard is no fun. I say make the most of your day in the early morning or late evenings. Use the afternoons to catch up on some school work if you work through the summer. If not, enjoy some time by the pool.
Put on plenty of sunscreen! Have a great summer.
Happy Homeschooling,

Ms. Hong has renewed our 11 year old daughter's interest in piano. She had completely stopped practicing and no longer enjoyed her lessons. Ms. Hong's genuine love for music and teaching was an immediate inspiration. Our daughter now, not only, loves her lessons but, enjoys practicing and is making great progress. Our 7 year old son also takes lessons from Ms. Hong. She has given him a sense of pride and he plays with a smile on his face. She has made it fun for him and he even likes to play for family and visitors. Ms. Hong is energetic and enthusiastic. We are so blessed to have found her.
