The school year has started

I started back to work last week, this week school started. I work in a middle school in the north part of Colorado Springs. I work in the special ed department and love my job. This week we had the 6th graders only one day and then Tuesday the 7th and 8th graders started.

Tuesday we also started homeschooling Anthony for his senior year of high school and he started at Public School for Drama, Weightlifting, Stage Tech and Lifeguarding. Today was the first day of swimming - 20 laps - and diving for bricks in the deep end. Even for a boy who is very very in shape, he's worn out and has smarting eyes from the chlorine. It's been a long time since he swam in a pool. In Washington he swam in a lake often. Here in Colorado he's only been swimming a couple of times.

I had a college course in US history started Monday. For a wonder I actually like the textbook and it looks to be a very good course. The instruction (online through the community college) also happens to be the homeschool liaison in the school district in which we live, so I mailed her our Notice of Intent to Homeschool last week.
