My children listened intently as President Obama spoke. The speech was excellent and kept my children's attention for the whole twenty minutes. I have given them a follow up assignment after our discussion to come up with five goals for this school year. Tomorrow we will put them onto poster board and hang them in our classroom as reminders. I am curious myself why us home schooling parents seemed to be left out of the "teacher" speech, but that will be another asignment for a later date.
