New Year

Well, I bit the bullet and went into school yesterday. I had been dreading it, not ready at all to start the new year, but once I got there things went ok. I won't have 3rd graders this year (sniff, sniff), and as it stands right now, if every kid from last year were to continue (which probably won't happen), I would start with 59 kids. In the works this year is a Chamber Orchestra, for my kids who need a severe challenge--I actually have quite a few who will probably jump at the chance--so that is exciting. Because I won't have 3rd grade, I will have very few beginners, which will make next year very strange. But I can only take one year at a time right now. For now I am just hoping they don't cut the music program further.
