Kate handed Abby a plate of food, "Jasper is fine. Your lesson will begin after supper. We start with writing your names. Then I am going to see where each of you are in reading common. Matt your not sitting down I want you to be as active as you want. What letters do you know in common language and this will be hard on your mind. I need to know how far you can count. Each of you will probably be on different levels. I want this to be fun. Do not be afraid if you make a mistake or need to ask a question. There is no laughing at or teasing each other. Anyone breaks those rules will get extra duties, homework, and sent to their room. I will never hit you or torture you. Now you may get your drinks and extra food. I have dessert in the oven. You pay attention and follow my instructions you get dessert and a reward. You will get your own box you draw a picture of a reward you want at the end of each day. This is to get you in the habit of studying. Tomorrow will 15 minutes of learning and you give me a sheet of what you have learned. I expect to be not be filled until we are writing full sentence.  At the end of each week, you get quizzed. This is a learn at your own pace. I go too slow or too fast, tell me. You ask questions by raising your hand if it a group lesson. I at times will give you time to work as a group. We will have trivia games where you work together for the answer. The answer is given by the person holding the talking stick. No fair blurting, saying an answer unless I call your name or hand you the stick. Do you accept my rules? I will write them down and you sign your names once you can spell. For now, this is a verbal contract and you disagree let me know."
