Long time no post....

 Sorry things have been crazy busy on my end.  On top of that haven't really been feeling 100 percent for awhile now.  

I went in for day surgery, Wednesday past, female stuff.  Here's hoping it was worth it.  On the mend, but some days are better then others.  Only time will tell if it fixed the issues I was having. I got in under the wire, because by Friday everything was shut down. 

We are in lockdown number 2 here.  One of our high schools got the covid variant from the UK, so we are trying to get things under control.  Thankfully it wasn't my daughters school.  So for at least the next two week, the kids will be doing online learning.  I figure once we get closer to the 26th of the month they might extend it another week or more. 

We are only allowed to go out when we have to.  Most places are closed except for grocery stores, drugstores and the such.  If you can work from home they want you too.  Fast food places and restaurants can do deliver or curb side pick up. 

So far we have 296 active cases and all but a handful of those are from the one cluster out break. sigh

Winter is here still.  I thought we were getting an early spring Mister groundhog. So I guess the last few storms we are having is going to make up for that.  I think we have another one coming the middle of this week. 

On a fun note I have found a great new distraction and it is called TikTok. lol  God help me. I don't post I prefer to watch. lol  I mean watch creators well thought out videos and comment accordingly lmao

Bye Bye September....

can't say that I am sorry to see you go.   You have been one roller coaster ride after another but you usually are.  With the kids going back to school and trying to get things back on schedule, after none all summer. It has been ruff to say the least.  Would like to say that my day was uneventfully just once but never seems to happen.   Busy busy always busy.

Intensive Core French.....

Had a meeting tonight at my daughters school.  She wants to do Intensive core French in Grade 6.  I wasn't sure how it worked since my son showed no interest in doing it when he was in Grade 6.  Just goes to show kids are all different.  There was like 6 parents there, not sure if that was a good thing or not.  But I figured alot of  parents had probably been through it for a previous child so they knew all about it.  Apparently they have like over 40 kids interested in the program for next year.

From what I took away from the meeting my daughter will love it.  Lots of learning but done in a very fun way.  Lots of interaction with other students and hands on learning as well.  Sounds like they make it pretty fun.

My only concern that it is done from September to the end of January then in February they have to do catch up in some subjects that they don't do during that time.  Subjects like Health, Religion, Social Studies and a couple more.  But as it was explained they do a project and it overlaps in 2 or more subjects so that is how they get the marks.

Maybe if she likes it she will do French immersion in Grade 7 and beyond.  Thankfully us parents don't need to know french in order for them to do it.  Any homework will be minimal and it sounds it will be the art portion that will be seen coming home it they don't get it done in class.  By the end of the time they will be able to read, write, speak and understand French at a Grade 9 level.  Very Interesting.

Wish me luck next year.
