Although this blog isn't fulfilling the purpose of its creation (i.e. to get my kids writing this summer), it may turn into an outlet for me and a place to display photos of said children.
With Mooku starting kindergarten 2 days ago, we are now fully emerged in school (well, the Dad--whom I shall call "N"--and I start teaching next week). Three school kids on three schedules. Mooku is enjoying p.m. kindergarten--day 1 was teary for no one; K reports each day that school was "great" (in her words, "Summer was packed with sitting on the couch."); Q started at a magnet school and, without our consent, seems to have skipped 5th grade and landed in algebra (!!??). Zero to sixty in 2 seconds flat. I can't seem to keep from meddling, but try to do so as politely and quietly as I am able. After a few days of Q leaving the house at 7:30 a.m. and returning around 4:45 p.m., we have arranged an afternoon carpool that starts today and should have them all home before 4:00.
As I was preparing in spurts for the start of my semester, I've had in my head a MW evening schedule. Last night N said, "I think you're teaching Tuesday, Thursday." Right-o. So, I quickly emailed new computer classroom and library instruction requests, changed the Ms to Ths and Ws to Ts on my course schedule, and N gets to coach Mooku's soccer team on Thursdays. Gotta run to a parent-teacher conference.
