Wow! First week of school under our belt. Big T has had a wonderful first week of school and I am so happy. This could have gone so many different bad ways. Lol!! We were all a little nervous about how this would go and I still have some reservations but, so far I am very pleased.
He is taking a career management class and his instructor brought out Dave Ramsey and shared parts of his DVD's. I was thrilled and of course Big T knew exactly who he was. He was probably the only kid that knew who he was. They have been talking about credit cards and mortgages, raise your hand if you were ever taught about credit cards or mortgages in high school. Ha Ha Ha Ha me either. My kids have been taught about the whole credit cards are bad since I am an ardent Dave Ramsey fan/follower.
In may they have been adding Star Wars quotes in with their math learning. According to Big T she is not teaching math they are learning to solve problems. Big T seems to be learning though and he is very excited to go to school each morning. His first day he was very excited to show me his new computer they have issued them. He was also excited about his google calendar and how his teachers add his assignments and how he knows that in November he has a big paper due for English composition. This is similar to what he will have once he goes to college like the Blackboard sites most colleges have so that the students can interact with the teachers. He also has a sort of study hall but they call it Seminar. They can work on homework or if there is a particular class they are struggling in they can go to that teacher and get extra help. This is the last 30 minutes or so of school. The picture below is him after getting off the bus the first day.
