Well not much going on....but a couple of things are exciting
opportunities to me right now....

I took Travy to a robotics class and as
i was there the lady was telling
me about a great opportunity!! we
constantly are thinking if we need to put the
boys in school or continue to homeschool....well
this seems like a great
compromise!

The galien school system is struggling,(if i understand correctly)
so they are partnering with the
homeschool group.... they get paid if we
dual enroll with them, soooo if we take
one galien class, we get to take some xtra classes
as well (all for free, cuz the government pays
the teachers and the school!!! ) So while i pay for this
robotics class for xtra, i can get them for free
in the fall....they have math,and science, computer,
art, band, etc...for the classes that we HAVE to take
and than they have gym and swim and robotics and
karate and art as the xtra ones....i am
sooo excited to be able to get them these
classes....i will have to
be careful to not overdo....but the art classes
look to be in buchanan, so they
could even walk to that ;) :)

but anyway, travy like his class alot...he
said when he first started to get
excited was when he saw the wiring
for the lego robot.... evidentally, he uses a
computer to control the robot and he
got to decorate it with extra lego..... the
teacher said they all did really well
and that she is moving them on to more
advanced stuff cuz this all was too easy
for them. He has 2 other girls in the
class with him.... the one girl
evidentally is soooo advanced that the teacher
told the mom she HAS to keep the
girl in this field. :)..... maybe travy will
catch on that good as well....i told
him it combines 2 of his loves
(legos and computers)

also a mission opportunity that i will post about later ;)
