School Begins....again

I am pretty sure I blogged about school starting about a month ago, however for Hannah, school has started....again.

You see this year she is starting a modular school.  This means that one week a month she will leave us and travel about 2 hours away and do all of her English, Math, and Science.  She then returns home and does 3 weeks of homework, tests, and prepares for the next month.  This gives kids like mine, who have no other foreign kids their age in our town, a chance to interact and study with other kids their age, and be taught by other teachers who may teach higher math and sciences better then me. :)   Right now, the modular school is only for 7th and 8th graders, and it just so happens that this year they are all girls.  Super Fun!!

Last week was Hannah's first week to attend.  She was already good friends with most of the girls, so she was pretty excited about this opportunity.  There are two teachers who come and teach the girls for the week and they are full of energy and excitement and I think the girls really love them already.  There is also dorm mom each week who cooks for the girls and teachers all week long and is responsible for the girls in the evenings.  My turn will be in December so I am excited about that!!

The only downside is the 3 weeks worth of homework...at least today it is all piled high and seems a little mountainous. Hopefully Hannah will make a dent in it by the end of the week.

We sure did miss her around here while she was gone, though.  It was a terrible glimpse into what it will be like when she goes off to college....in a short 4 years, 8 months.....but who's counting?
