First Week Back at School

Michelle and Brad arrived back from Kansas last Saturday (January 12). Chelsea Roberts also came with them to do a three month internship. School started up on the 15th, Tuesday, and Michelle did a great job getting over jet lag in time to get back to teaching.

Tuesday afternoon we had our first guest speaker of the year. Barbara Bennett is the mother of two of our students, and she spent six years in Japan and three in Korea. She shared with the students a little about what it was like to live there, taught us some about the writing systems of the two countries, and did a cooking demonstration of a type of pancake that has quite a bit of cabbage in it and can be topped with something like barbeque sauce.

Next week we will be incorporating two new students into the school one day a week. Cooper and Nissa, two of the younger Sagers, have been doing kindergarten at home with their mom, but starting next week Philip Cox will take over 3rd grade one day a week so that Michelle can work with Cooper, Nissa, and Alandra. We're all excited about welcoming them to school.
