Quarter one is half way over. Teaching virtually to 9 and 16 in class. Most days it’s quite the challenge - sounds like me teaching, “turn in your mute button”, “raise your hand and wait your turn”, looks like labs and reading and making anchors charts and technology galore - at first all things technology, but now reducing my computer grading time and making paper copies for students in class. We had a teacher workday on Friday and I was able to get paperwork complete and conference with parents. I need to remember that while I love teaching and learning with my kiddies at school that my personal kids- family- are more important.
Chris is getting help in the neighborhood this coming week Austin and Dylan continue to do well at school. Not much has changed for them and their studies. Ashleigh finished one of her classes. She applied for a summer job in MH and is hoping to road trip with a couple of friends on this journey. They are contemplating on taking the “blue rocket” or another friends car. Chris and she plan to do some body work to finish up the car in three coming weeks after class She is serving and sharing the gospel in so many ways big and small, continuing to overcome some battles but building trust and loving God as her almighty father. Her mentors are also encouraging her. (Thanks if you are reading this). I love the little “gang” she is part of and their time together bond intentionally whether it be while surfing, watching movies, worshipping, downtown, coffee/tea, or whatever college kids do. I am glad she is able to also come home and feel that home when she visits and hangs out.
This weekend went to corn maze. Ashleigh and Austin finished first. We also had fried Oreos, pet the animals, played Corn Hole, took a tractor ride around the farm, and picked out a pumpkin. The weather was perfect! The time we spent there was like pre-covid or like time had frozen - except for the tractor ride ( wear we wore mask). People were respectful snd having fun outside!
