Fall 2011: Daniel Becker is 22, Jessie Gorey and Chris Mather are 13, Matthew Pitts, Molly Lind, Tina Traveller, Lana Connor and Nicholas Gorey are 8.
Daniel has 7 students in his class this year. I nice easy number to handle for his first full year of teaching.
With the weather still being warm this kids spend most of their lunch playing outside.
One Friday afternoon Daniel decided that the kids would benefit more form playing sports outside rather than being stuck inside studying.
So far Daniel hasn't had too much trouble with the kids. Getting them to get down to work unusually isn't too difficult.
The first few weeks of library time a few of the kids didn't know what they should be doing so Daniel had to help them figure out what options they did have.
Art class is always a breeze, all the kids love to paint.
Music class is a different story. It's a mixed bag when it comes to music.
The boys often don't want to do music so it can often be a battle to get them to pick an instrument. Daniel found that informing them if they didn't work on their skills here they would be way behind when they went to High School and thus they wouldn't be able to play the guitar or drums.

Awww, cute kids. Good luck Daniel!
As always, I love your schools!
The schools are so great. What an awesome way for the kids to get skills built up already.
