Moving

   Did I mention we bought a house? We did. It was the split level I liked, which I mentioned in an earlier post. Now the time issue regarding student loans, has changed some. First it was pushed back to September 15, instead of June, and it might not have affected me, since I had an established payment. So a little part of me is like darn! we could have gotten something new and better with more time to look. But I suppose I'd drive myself better thinking like that (there will ALWAYS be missed opportunity), and I like the house.

   Today I will be busy finalizing summer school plans. I am going to have an intern from MSU, which on the one hand will be nice, but on the other, I wanna do it myself, wah. Anyway. I need to have everything organized and ready for the going-into-kindergarteners on Monday. I am excited! We are going to be trying out the new technologies for math and reading (basically, they will be working on software in each up to 30 minutes a day, each), and also doing a fun thing called-oh, I don't remember, but basically, you give them materials (and possibly a project or problem to solve), and they get to find a creative way to make something on their own. It's supposed to trial and error. It sounds like a great idea to me. The only thing I didn't like was during the training  we were working in groups of four, and I really felt I could do better work if I could just take the materials to my corner and work on them, and then share with the group. I needed time to actually touch and manipulate the materials, and I couldn't do that with the group. So I will let them work individually if they choose, and then have them share the results. I think the hard part will be not just letting it turn into arts and crafts.

   We plan to move the big furniture out tomorrow, but we won't have cable moved over until Tuesday. That is going to be unpleasant. It'll be like 1994 without any internet. I used to read a lot more. I personally will be too busy to care too much, but the kids'll be bored. 

   I'll post pics, soon.
