This is My Child Life

It was a regular Friday morning. I sent the girls off to school. I was still in sweat pants drinking my tea. I logged on to school and was getting some schoolwork finished. Around 9:30 I get a call, I recognized the number as my girls school and thought with a bit of annoyance, who is sick or who forgot what? It was the school secretary, this was our conversation: Ms. G (kinda frantic): Hi Kristen, Stephanie has been stung by a wasp or maybe a yellowjacket. Me (calm voice): Oh that's a bummer Ms. G: The whole class has been stung Me: Oh wow, what happened? Ms. G: The paramedics are here, they want you to come and pick her up Me: Seriously? Is she Ok?

2nd semester is in full swing!  I have 2 courses right now 1 / 8 week and 1/ 16 week. Another 8 week will start after the first one ends.  Technology in Schools - required course This class is exactly what is sounds like. Its an intro course to all thing tech in school. A little out of my league but glad that I have 2 kids in school so I can talk it up with their teachers if I need support.  Instructional Systems Design - required course Also exactly what is sounds like. Might be a little challenging but I'm excited to hopefully be creative and make some innovative programs.  I am also volunteering at my kids school this year with the media teacher. So hope to pick up a few new digital video skills taught to me be middle schoolers. Yikes! Well onto the new year!
