Comic Books

The boys of the PSB were lucky enough to have Mr. Regie come and talk shop. He used to be a color artist for Marvel and other cool things. He told the boys some of how the process works and gave them some tips on their own comics. It was awesome!

Non Negotiables

1. Help the boys to love learning!
2. Allow boys to drive and thrive at an individual pace
3. Time for the Essentials – Classics, Faith, Field trips, Person of the Week, Extra Contests, Toddler attention, classes and Co-ops. And a little down time for Mom.

So are these non-negotiables a reality? Some days are better than others. I just heard that the Public Schools recently finished 1st quarter. Wow! We have been doing this for a whole quarter. It flew by, and I have changed my mind about our schedules and procedures time and again. But we keep getting closer to where we want to be. At the end of the day, it hurts to imagine things any other way. So let the piles of laundry keep growing! We'll get to it when we can.

Pixel Planet!

Wow, Battle of the Brains has been a HUGE project, but the PSB has delivered. Check out the video and cross your fingers. If you want to know what the Battle of the Brains is, go here: battleofthebrainskc.com
