Anita was sick today, and Tara has her name on the sub list, so after some phone calls and childcare gymnastics, she was free to take Anita's classes.
So Tara has been telling people all day on Facebook and whatever that she taught pre-calculus today, and Latin. Sounds educated, doesn't it? Now, I don't know how much actual teaching went on, but I'm very sure that there was decent order in the classes. Better than most, I know Mrs. K.
On to more interesting subjects... like me! Evan and Aidan and I distributed more (belated) Christmas treats in our neighborhood on Sunday afternoon. Two owners were not home, we had a brief conversation at another place with a young family, and then we came to Lowell and Betty's place. Betty came out to meet us, and the beginning of the conversation was a delight:
Me: Hi, I'm Jim, and this is my son Evan, and my son Aidan. We just moved in.
Betty: Oh, which house did you move into?
Me: The little gray one just over there.
Betty: Oh, my! I'll have to go get my husband! He's been waiting to meet you.
Me: (gulp)
Betty: He saw your tractor. He loves tractors. He notices every time you move it and tells me about it.
So we had a marvelous conversation once Lowell came out. He has a John Deere A or something , and he is very proud of it. Even went back in and got a picture of it to show me.
It's interesting to speculate about what ministry will look like down here.
I turned over the first three units of my new curriculum to one of my sophomores today. J----- is going to serve as project editor; A------ is going to write the historical readings that are to be interspersed with the grammar and vocabulary lessons.
We have much to be thankful for. Soli Deo Gloria.
