1st Package arrived

Today we received our first shipment from Connections Academy. Only one box which included Drew's computer monitor. Today I also completed the training videos (and quizzes for same). Whew! A plethora of information about what to expect and my responsibilities, but very long.

While we have already designated and started preparing the study area for the kids, we still have a lot of work to do. Receiving the package has motivated us to do more work this weekend. This weekend appears to be a busy one.

Setting up - phase I

Now that we have completed the final registration requirements, I am focusing now on getting our work areas set up. I work in an office all day long and so I consider myself at least little knowledgeable on what is conducive for this task, but I also have to take into consideration that I have two young people that will, on occassion, get on each others nerves. Therefore, I'd like to be able to keep them separate to an extent, but still close enough that they can share some equipment (i.e., the printer and phone) and supplies. We've got an area designated, but the hunt for furniture begins.

I'll post pictures as we progress.
