It's a 20-week program that's funded - ie. we have REAL books for kids of different reading ability, we have sample lesson plans, worksheets, and a trained educator to help us and show us the ropes. Oh, and I think we'll be gettin' learning games at some point. You cannot believe how great that feels.
We're learning some really valuable skills from Georgina, our allied educator - who's open enough to tell us she hasn't worked with kids like ours before and that she's learning along with us. She's a gem.
Are the kids still doing wheelies on chairs? Yes.
Are they still disrepectful? Yes, some, but a lot less than a year ago and it's nothing that worries me.
Is it still difficult to get them to sit still? Yes - but they're kids. Anyone of you who hasn't been IMing or doing email while on conference calls may throw the first stone.
