Another busy week! Still haven't finished my first assignment! Hoping to get an hour in now...
Mrs RC has been volunteering as a classroom assistant at the local school. Her main reason for signing up was to work with a kid who is supposed to have severe learning difficulties, but while working with him she has found that he really doesn't have any real problems - except a lack of interest! Once engaged in the work he does OK. She has also found that this kid (7-8 years old) who is supposedly unable to remember numbers and letters actually plays online games and chats to friends via MSN Messenger!
Other kids with more real problems are also benefitting from Mrs RC's attention - she is a great teacher!
What have I been doing? Writing a song! Yes, I have got a great song in the works with what I think is a great guitar melody going through it. Need to get into a band - no I haven't heard any more from the punk band...
Painting soldiers! I am working on my American Civil War stuff now, and they are looking great - will try to get a photo over the weekend...
Bye! Have a great weekend if I don't get back before then!

Mrs. RC sounds like a wonderful addition to the classroom. Sometimes kids just need someone to show them they believe in them and give them confidence in their abilities.
That's great that you're writing a song. Maybe you'll share it on the blog when it's finished?
I'm sure that Mrs RC is inspiring the kids to greater heights. It is always a good investment in a child's future.
I vote with terri on hoping to hear your song.
