One of the many things keeping us busy recently has been a new job for the fall. The accelerated, classical homeschool coop in town called me out of the blue and asked if I’d come in and interview with them. After a few conversations, I accepted a position teaching 4 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I will be using IEW to teach writing to the 4th through 6th graders and also teaching Literature to the two sections of 6th grade. One of the best perks of this job is that the girls will be in on-site childcare and we’ll be done in time for naps. I think it will work out great for everyone!

I think it is going to be REALLY fun, and the pay is great, too :o)
That sounds great! (And I was going to ask about IEW, too. . .)
Wow, that sounds wonderful!
Sounds like a great way to use your gifts and skills, Kristen!
That sounds really exciting. I wish we had something like that around here.
that is so great! i’m using IEW with middle/high school students at a tutoring center i’m working at this summer.
For part-time work using your skills and on-site child care, you just can’t beat that!! And it fits with the nap schedule? Priceless.
I’m doing something similiar with Classical Conversations next fall. Both of my older ones are enrolled in the program, so my tutoring offsets the costs. Onsite daycare and back home in time for naps makes it all worthwhile.
