Health and Career

Caileigh has been helping teach Alex and Jordan.  She reads them books and creates activities based on what they are learning.  They relate very well to her and she is a wonderful mix of gentle and firm.

Caileigh worked at a lemonade stand on two separate occasions.  She also sold cookies.

Creating a brochure on healthy lifestyle.

There was a lengthy discussion about the internet.  We discussed internet safety, risk of chatting with unknown people, cyber bullying, Facebook and creating discontentment with life, texting, video games, boundaries.  It was a really good time of sharing and learning about how to stay safe and make responsible choices.  Hoping to expand on this e.g.. journey entry, pamphlet, etc.
