Dog Days

These two young ladies left for dog training school today.  Kayla and Dixie are off on their three week adventure in learning to be a dog trainer and trainee.  If all goes as planned, Kayla will be the trainer!

Dixie really enjoyed the trip to Columbus.

 We made it!  Dixie was so excited to be around all the other dogs, that we had to take her away from them.

 Time for the kennel, then the students could settle in.

 They really have a nice kitchen for the 12 students to share.

 There was a common area to share too.

She has her own dorm room.

Class is from 9-5 or later, 6 days a week.  They get Sundays off.

Just a little view of the Skyline.

 What we wanted to see.  Job positing.  This particular one is in Utah starting at $50K a year.  Hmmm, not to shabby.

I look forward to seeing the transformation.

The Sweat of my Brow

I've been sweating here the past two weeks getting all the new stuff in the right spots.

Trying out the new chairs.

My visiting teacher Michelle came and helped me.  She organized my books and supplies on the shelf.

We completed open house last Thursday night and had a marathon of trainings.  My favorite was on the brain development.  It is fascinating how the brain learns.

I am excited to teach just social studies this year.

I can't wait to meet the children tomorrow.

It will be fun seeing their reaction to everything.  The size of the middle school alone is staggering to them.  They aren't in an elementary anymore.
