If you have read any of my previous blogs, you know I am going to college (finally) to finish my teaching degree. So that was one thing I did this summer was take two classes (9 credit hours). One class was a lot of fun.....the other, well, I would have rather ate my foot!!! But ....regardless....it is done. Now I am just looking forward to starting my fall classes, all of which will take me closer and closer to my goal.
Also, I have been doing an all summer long tutoring program at the school I work at. My principal approached me last year in April about starting this program, designing how I want it to work, and getting the program going by the first of June. I am pretty proud of the kids I had this summer and the work they did. The program is mainly geared toward a math and reading focus, so that is what we did.
It was just me for the most part (I did have a helper about 5 days and then my daughter who is in 4th grade this fall helped do flashcards with half the kdg class while I did a reading group with the other half).
It was comprised of kdg-6th grade. Monday 8:30-10 Kdg 10:30-12 1st....times the same Tues - Thur. but grades alternated....2nd and 3rd.....4th and 5th....and then 6th on Thur. Friday was my travel day. We are a rural school and so on each Friday I took math games to designated alternate site in a town that our school serves, so that kids in that community could just come there instead of always having to go to the school.
I hope I get to do this again next summer.
Aside from those two things, I still had to run my kids around and stuff. All around a good summer!!
