We've expanded the schedule, adding an extra class on Tue,Thur, and Fri. Saturday classes will run for 1.5 hours for 3 weeks out of 4. This will allow me to attend training seminars without such a big adverse impact on my Saturday-only students.
On the home front:
I had a fun and busy summer with my family, and face this school year with a new challenge: My forth-grader is attending the Washington Virtual Academy (WAVA), and I am the "learning coach". I'll be supervising and guiding her education during the day, in addition to my work running the school, and teaching classes, so be patient if I seem especially forgetful!
My 11th grader will be getting his drivers license this month, and attending the local community college thru the Running Start program. He's already loving it... his classes don't start until Sept 20, and all his XC team mates are already going to HS at 7:25 each day!
My 20 year-old step son has decided to return home this school year, and will also attend community college classes to prepare to transfer into UW next year. We're all so happy to have him back home.
Finally, my #2 step-daughter and her husband welcomed their first child, a daughter, one week ago on August 27! I'm a (step) grandma! We're all in love with the new baby!
