This school year has gotten off to a busy start with the issuing of Mac Book Air laptop computers to all of the students! Yes, how technology has changed the way we teach. The 7th graders are great kids and we are moving rapidly through the curriculum at this time by enhancing learning with the use of computer applications.
I'm enrolled in an online MOODLE course to help me organize my classroom and club activities which is taking plenty of my extra time to set up. However, once most of the ground work is in place it will make for easier classroom preparation in the future.
I'm so excited about the number of students interested in the Unicycle Club this year. The kick off meeting will be October 3rd. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and encouraging them to ride--who knows what this year's opportunities will bring!
I've enjoyed a wonderful field trip to Birmingham for the Joint Leadership Development Conference (JLDC) with very enthusiastic FCCLA club students who helped me celebrate my birthday while on the trip.
My birthday was celebrated in grand style with my family a day later! Oh, how the years are ticking by!
Our new grand baby is growing up before our eyes. He is a very healthy, happy big 4 month old boy. Catherine is keeping us updated daily on his achievements through the use of technology and we are so anxious to see him in a couple of weeks.
Jon has started a fantastic new job, putting in many laborious hours but so thankful for God's direction in his life. Praise the Lord!
Hope this message finds you grateful and blessed!
