Chatter-Box

Braden
Braden has become quite the talker lately! His most recent conquest was to conquer K-sounds. Truck, block, Brooke, and sock are some of his common words now.

We have changed his bed to the toddler bed now. He is not taking the change very well. He is fighting even taking a nap on his bed now... Yesterday, he spent the better part of an hour crying off-and-on instead of napping. Last night he camped out with me on the floor in his room. It took him until about 4am to finally relax and stay down for more than 30 minutes.

Braden will begin tumbling classes on Tuesday. (His schedule should show up in the calendar below.) we are also going to try out a soccer program starting in February on Wednesdays after school. From what I understand, I can expect to receive quite a workout from both classes!

Haylee
I've started teaching my virtual health class. We are about to complete week two. So far, about 1/3 of the class has dropped. If the remaining students follow the track I forsee, I think 1/4 of the remaining students will be dropped from the course on Tuesday... Only time will tell.

I'm trying to make adjustments to the course as I go along. I recently found out about some required changes that are coming, so I'm trying to take care of those as I go along. Of course, this is while I'm interacting with current students, grading their assignments, and doing my regular daily face-to-face curriculum in math and science.

Daniel
Daniel is gearing up for skydiving season. His first training day is coming up in February - time to get rigs repacked. Other than that, he is staying busy at work and trying to attend Lodge meetings regularly.
