On Monday, enrichment classes resume at City Academy. There are so many choices on the menu this semester that class sizes are much smaller than last spring. That’s a good thing. Right now, I have 13 students total with 6 students as my largest class size. I’m sure numbers will increase slightly, but I can do so many more hands-on activities with smaller groups of students. The calendar also has several built in breaks, which is really nice!
Therapy dog activities are once again in full swing. Sadie and I head for a conference at the Classic Center in Athens next week and we’ll end the week with a visit to Camp Peach Pals at the Four Seasons Hotel in Atlanta. We’re scheduled to resume reading at the Smyrna Library in September. I debated not returning due to the stupid library policy change last spring; however, the other team retired in July. I committed to monthly visits through the end of the year. We have a core group of kids who participate in the program. We also have several READ teams in training who need to get their field visits done, and the Smyrna Library is convenient for them. My group leader knows how much I’d like to do a school-based READ program. She advised there should be some slots available soon. Keep your paws crossed!
CraftLAB resumes and I meet with the SQTM rep soon to get the scoop on fall classes. One of my CraftLAB ‘tweens has earned the privilege of having her own sewing machine. She’ll go home home this week with a sewing machine of her very own (serviced by yours truly) and a basket of sewing goodies courtesy of my Friday sewing squad. I’m so grateful for these ladies.
My itch to travel has resurfaced with a vengeance. The school calendar shows no classes the Monday after our anniversary. We should be able to go somewhere. Hmmm…I wonder where?
