German Visitors

We had a really nice time with our German friends. The girls had a lot of fun playing with their two year old boy. Now we are pretty tired. Good thing we have a weekend to recover!

It has been, and will be for a while, hot, summery weather. Rather uncomfortable. Hopefully we start to get some thunderstorms. I didn't get much work done for my business last week and working in the heat is not much fun, so we will see how far I get this week.

Had a nice week at school. My lessons were cancelled on Thursday so I could develop a plan for next year with one of the other teachers. I proposed some pretty major changes - 3 graded tests instead of 9 and a work attitude grade which is really controversial here among other things. I was surprised at how well everything was received by my colleague and the two others that make up our little math section. I will break the news to the bigger math section this week, see how that goes. Nice intermediate step toward projects and subject integration.

The garden is doing well...did lots of work this week to prepare for the new swing.
