Back to School

Monday was the first day back to school. Paige has had a great week so far, mainly because she hasn't been assigned any homework yet. She has some great teachers and a sweet schedule - starts everyday with Band and then PE - gotta like that :) Now that Paige is in grade 7 she is allowed to play on school teams. Next week she will be trying out for the volleyball team. She has never really played before but her height and enthusiasm might help:)

William is not returning to school quite yet. He will continue his intensive therapies on Mondays Tuesdays and Thursdays. A home-tutor will be assigned by the school to come to our home a few days each week - this work will be focused on bringing him back up to speed. With his brain recovering he does tire easily with academic work so a gradual approach will be best.

We are also looking to schedule time at school each week - possibly attending art class, band (switching from trumpet to drums :) and maybe an hour in his classroom. We visited his "assigned" classroom today and his teacher is awesome. There are also about seven students in his class who were also in his class last year. They were so happy to see Will and of course have a lot of questions about his current situation.

Craig is riding that darn motorcycle to work now - but what a HUGE savings in gas it has been!Sylvia is starting to train for a 10K run - difficult running in the heat but it will make the actual race day in cooler temperatures a bonus.

Thanks go to nana and grandad for purchasing Will a recumbent exercise bike for the house. He loves to get on the bike and pedal pedal like madman!!
