The buses were early and on time respectively. Progress! Seven families were present and one excused. Progress! Testing is finished for half the class and goals are being set. If we had more space and children's teachers, we could take the four families on our wait list.
There are at least three or four students who seem to have a real sense of enjoyment in learning. They contribute ideas for new words to learn, they are willing to suggest alternatives for solutions to problems, and they say things like "the morning went by so fast." That is always a good sign.
Others are quiet and I am having to work at getting to know them. All are doing well with reading and interacting with their children at PACT time. One little fellow is pretty wild, but did better today. If he doesn't settle down, we'll need to think about a referral. It is always good to remember that this is a family program, not just a GED program with childcare. Our goals are for the adults and the children.
So...at this point, I think how could I give up a good thing--and a needed thing?
