Williamsburg!

As a parent, you want your kids to excel in whatever interests them and seeing that Shane has had a terrible time adjusting to school every year, I decided that he needed to participate in something academic this summer. Something that would keep him academically engaged and would help him to remain confident in his school work next school year.

So I started looking around and found a program run by the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA and I signed him up for two classes. The first class is called "Fairy Tales on Trial" where the kids learn about courtroom trials and are able to play out the roles of the judge, jury or attorney.

He should excel as a defense attorney!

The afternoon class is called "Project SALUTE" and is a space exploration program where the kids learn about space and designing rocket ships. "Geeky" stuff that I could NEVER understand.

We only had a few glitches in the plan so far but the campus is beautiful. I'd forgotten how large college campuses can be so it's been a little hectic trying to figure out where to get him to class. Especially since the two classes are at the opposite ends of the campus. :/

Hopefully he'll have a great experience. I wish that all kids could attend classes like this. It's a great opportunity for him. I hope he has fun. Owen and I will. We're planning on going to Busch Gardens during the day while he's in class. :)
