Think Tank Worcester

Yesterday Lizzy and I went to the open house for Think Tank Worcester which is new and offering classes for home schooled teens. The lady who started it with 2 home schooling moms is a science teacher so the are offering lots of science classes. Lizzy wanted to do the creative writing class but it is on Monday nights and she is working then. She got to chat with the guy running the class and he was very cool. He immediately starting talking directly to her which was great. I get frustrated with people always talking to me instead of her. She is taller than me for goodness sakes just ask her what she wants! Anyway writer guy was totally cool and maybe next term we can catch his class at a different time. Instead she decided to take US History. I know the lady teaching it. My sister used to take care of her daughter like 10 years ago and she also used to run a yo-yo school that Liz was involved with 4 or 5 years ago. She is teaching history form a liberal perspective so Liz and I are cool with that. The first thing they are doing is putting Columbus on trial. Sounds fun! So the unschooly girls schedule for the fall is Mondays- work 5-9, Tuesdays- US History, Wednesdays- Saori weaving, Thursdays- Piano + work 7-9:30, Sundays- work 10-12 + Young Neighbors in Action meeting or World of Darkness RPG which she is game master for. Pretty busy schedule.

But first we will take a regularly scheduled break with NOT BACK TO SCHOOL CAMP!!!!!!!!!!
