Z has a lot going on in the coming weeks
She already has piano, Shakespeare, gymnastics, and Japanese.
Last Sunday she started a four week Voice Over class. She has a new homeschool science class on Tuesdays and after
Thanksgiving she'll be starting am eight week Astronaut Training class. Besides all that she is also getting ready for a piano competition and, of course, doing about two auditions a week.
Good thing I decided we would be mostly unschooling over the holidays. So her schedule will look like this*
Monday - Piano
Tuesday - Homeschool science
Wednesday - Shakespeare and Gymnastics
Thursday - Japanese
Friday - Astronaut Training
Sunday - Voice Over
*plus extra piano practice and auditions
I hope it doesn't get to be too much for her. Knowing Z it won't unless she gets a big audition just before her piano competition. The voice over and astronaut classes will be over before the new year and we will get back to normal.

Astronaut training...now that is forward looking education. How wonderful for Z.
Talking of forward looking I have been asked by a TV producer to refer gifted kids to her for a TV show. From what I gather it is some kind of documentary on gifted children and their families. Each family which appears will receive $20,000 U.S Dollars as an appearance fee.
It should be a great opportunity to raise Z's profile - or any other gifted kid who contacts me.
There are two ways to do this: post a comment at my site, which I will see - or, perhaps better, write to me at tjvcawley2@yahoo.com and copy to the.cawleys@gmail.com
The TV producer will need to know a little about your gifted child and family so as to decide which families to select: always be straight with the media, on this. So in your mail to me, you might wish to include a little about Z or any other child who is gifted and contact details so that the producer will be able to get back to you. (Telephone as a minimum) City of residence might be a good idea too, so they know where they will be filming.
I don't know their timescale - but I think it is best to be quick than slow.
I hope you get it. I can't do it - because I don't live in the US. Otherwise I would.
Take care
Wow that sounds like a lot of fun for Z.
No thank you Valentine
I am not comfortable giving out that kind of personal information (phone number, city I live in) over the web.
