Good morning!

HULA!! 

Today is dd16's last day of tutorial for the year!  Their high school formal dinner/Roaring 20's party  is in 3 weeks.  I need to get gas in the car.  I will go visit The Wizard again tonight.

Coffee!

COFFEE!

Also, I very much want to meet this Wizard. The Wizard. I'm hoping he can help convince my dog to stop eating all my daughter's food when she temporarily abandons mealtime to greet her pet unicorn.

Welcome!  Here is our theme song, written by various ITTers.  (You are welcome to add verses if so inclined.)

This is the thread that never ends,
It just goes on and on my friends.
People started posting not knowing what it was,
And they will keep on posting here forever just because...
 
This is the thread that never ends
You'd best come join it with your friends
'Cuz it will replace Facebook as the latest web-based craze
And everyone will post here instead for the rest of their days

This is the thread that's always there
They'll cheer you up so don't despair
The group is growing well as more people start checking in
And we'll keep sucking them in because our cheer is addictive

This is the thread that never ends
It's better than a Mercedes Benz
It helps with coffee withdrawal and other troubles, too
Eighteen hundred pages of friends all cheering for you

This thread keeps going on and on
with record-setting length and fun
It started forty-eight months ago from curiosity
and all the fun and frolic has shown this is the place to be

This is the thread that never ends...
And the place where one finds special friends,
the kind that have hearts that are strong and true
Yes, ITT ladies, I am talking to you! 

This is the thread that never ends....

This is the thread that never ends

Yeah, it's superior to other trends

Friends start out scratching their heads in confusion, perhaps

But then the laughter strikes and they gratefully tip their caps... 😉

I'm brand new here. Hello, fellow classical educators!

This is clearly the most important thread, so I figured I'd start by posting here. 🙂

I have a 5 year old daughter. This morning, she donned a Gryffindor dress and robe, grabbed a wand, and proceeded to be the most focused homeschooling version of herself I've ever seen. Hermione gets stuff done. We took breaks for spell lessons here and there, during which I was schooled in how to properly pull off the "swish and flick" for Wingardium Leviosa (among other magical tasks). She was an excellent teacher. I hope Hermione shows up again.
