Getting to the end of the first semester. It has been a good semester, especially with the 2 new math classes. Both were a lot of fun to teacher, but also a steep learning curve as I had never taught either of them before, and the Math 20 Foundations class is a brand new curriculum this fall. The Energy and Mines 10 class was very frustrating, as the 3 students in the class attended every other day at best, didn't watch posted recordings and so the class moved agonizingly slowly. Other than that one class I have been blessed with some great students this semester, who, as always, have taught me as much as I have taught them.
Wednesday after school Joan and I drove to Saskatoon, spent the night there, and on Thursday we drive to Meadow Lake. I dropped Joan off to visit with folks and drove up to Waterhen to work with 2 students. That part didn't work so well: there was nobody at school to work with. Then it was back into Meadow Lake to work with a student at Flying Dust. The 2 of us had a good, productive 1 1/2 hour session. Then I had a short visit with Newton, Evangeline and Kelton before heading for home. Newton looks awful, but I guess not near as bad as he could after both colon and brain surgery to remove tumors. He says they got them all. I sure hope so.
