My first semester of teaching at the college level has been a great experience. It's a lot of work, but I really do enjoy it! My students have one more week of classes and then their exam. I'm scheduled to teach the same 4 classes during the spring semester (if we have enough register). It is unlikely that all 4 will get the minimum number enrolled, but I hope to have at least one to make. Actually, teaching more than 2 evenings a week would be challenging for our schedule since Paul works in the evenings sometimes as well.
Kiara has been working hard in school and is very proud of her successes. She knows her multiplication facts and has a good start on division. Spelling comes easy to her, and she has a natural interest in science. Her reading comprehension is improving, however, she still does not enjoy books as I hoped she would. I think that all the pressure to read for a purpose sometimes robs children of their desire to read just for fun. So much for my pedagogical banter...
Paul has been working on the house we started flipping almost 2 years ago. It's getting there, but still needs a kitchen. He's also hoping to buy a building downtown with a few partners as an investment. I admire his enthusiasm to dive into new things, but at the same time it scares me. Takes me a while to get used to a new idea, and I like to think things through a little more before making a move.
Well, Little Miss Kiara is still not asleep and it's 10:20 p.m., so I guess I better help her close her eyes...
Goodnight, all.
