Hello All.
The GPS class and I went camping to the redwoods Friday, so I couldn't write my weekly recap on time. When we got back today I went straight my oldest daughter's opening as Mabel in the Pirates of Penzance. After that, a pre-mom's day dinner at Chevy's kept us busy, so it isn't until now that I can sit down and crank out an email. Fun but busy weekend so far.
Recap of the Week:
The one and only in-class activity for the week was phase three of the astronomy board game. All of the teams seem to be progressing according to schedule and enjoying the process (I hope). The groups that the kids formed seem to have a great combinations of skills and working very well together to assure equal contributions. By the middle of class on Monday they should be ready for a rough trail run of their game.
