Meg had her second day of job shadowing. This time she chose to spend a day with Mr. Larson. She enjoyed it just as I thought that she would. She spent the first part of the morning with Reiker, his grandson, and was impressed with his academic ability. While in the classroom she graded papers, helped students and even read "A Bridge to Terabithia" to the class. Of course she had to read the saddest chapter. She had a lot of fun spending time with her favorite middle school teacher, but was not impressed with the new grading procedures. When Meg was in middle school she really wanted to be a teacher. That has changed over the years, but today was another great experience for her.
Cam had a big day as well. He finally had his expander removed. They also had to put on four new brackets, so his mouth was sore, but he was thankful to be able to eat normally again. On the way back to Bethany we stopped and bought him a new pair of basketball shoes. He was wearing Doug's shoes until he decided for sure that he wanted to play. He told me today that he definitely wants to be part of it all and was happy to announce that he had made the "A" team.
Tonight Doug and I went to parent-teacher conferences at Bethany. We met with all of Meg's teachers and half of Cameron's. Everyone had wonderful remarks concerning their work effort, academic ability and communication skills. It was nice to hear how well they were thriving at Bethany. They have made some real connections with several of their teachers. Their support was greatly appreciation by Doug and I.
