Unbelievably Cute Pictures of Rescued Baby Sloths. OH I BELIEVE IT, NATGEO. I believe it.
it’s july; how are your kids already going back to school?
right ? I’m so confused !
Year round school? Most kids in those schools go on break for a few weeks in the summer then head back in July.
yes! year round schools! super weird and i’ll never get used to it, but here we are.
Also, super southern counties. Because it’s hot and humid so we attempt to have our summer breaks at times with less awful heat (not possible). I work at a nature preserve that runs a day camp, some of our counselors start back next week (no year round school here).
Oh god. No. No. NO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. It is NOT the “most wonderful time of the year”… that was the last week of May.
Wow summer break is just starting here in the UK. Most kids either finished last Friday or finish today/tomorrow. For 6 weeks! I am so glad for Pokemon Go, it seems to be giving the roving bands of teens a purpose. There is nothing for kids to do around here that doesn’t cost loads of money, PoGo is a boon. Also baby sloths are always amazing.
