October, 2nd Week

I can't believe it is the second week of October and only 2 weeks away from the end of my first nine weeks back at school! Wow, time sure does fly. I feel like my individual school days fly by as well. This is a good thing, not because I don't like it, but because it keeps things moving. Today, I made chocolate oatmeal no bake cookies with my science classes. One of my classes in particular was the best at working together. They are my lowest functioning intellectually, but probably my best workers. In contrast to other classes, they helped each other hold measuring cups when spooning peanut butter or oatmeal. They would do one task, look at directions as a group, and then move on to the next step as a unit. It was actually amazing to watch. If only adults, world leaders, and families worked in such harmony!

Otherwise, Jeremy is getting the hang of his GIS classes. He took his first quiz online. There was an hour time limit, and I'm not sure how much he used, but I think time limits on online quizzes could be a test of typing skills and not knowledge. What do I know, I have never taken an online course. He had a long morning at latchkey because there was a scheduled delay; I haven't heard how exhausting it was to be with the kids two extra hours, but I am sure he'll have some stories when he gets home from round two. He had the opportunity to go to the City of Columbus offices for GIS and look around. He said he didn't know what he was really looking at, but I think it was probably interesting to see what this certificate could lead to.

Last night we ate at Fujiyama, a great Japanese steakhouse near us. It was so delicious. If you have not ever had this experience, I highly recommend it. Hope everyone is having a great week.
