We found the School District's Office and the Clinic. What a "peaceful" town!

Blind spots

Here are two videos about blind spots. This is a very, very important concept... not only to pass the driver's test but for your safety and the safety of other drivers. Always, always, check over your shoulder before making a lane change :-)



Continue practicing until looking over your shoulder becomes automatic!

(See you tomorrow at 7:00 am for your driving test.)

I'm a little behind...

I'm a little behind in my blog postings. Last Thursday we found the east side Department of Motor Vehicles and explored the streets. You were great! You stayed with the traffic and dealt with the construction. Just remember to signal well in advance of lane changes and to look over your shoulder before making the lane change. We avoided the beltline but encountered the terrible downtown fire. How very, very tragic.



Here's a link to information about the fire. Channel 3 and ABC News

And here's a video of the fire.

Good luck next Thursday!

So much catching up to do...

Two jobs and you still completed homework! Amazing! We did a lot of talking and listening. We went over compositions and worked in Side by Side. We also talked about the radio program, Chapter a Day. Here's the link to the newest book called The Lotus Eaters by Tatjana Soli which is a novel of an American female combat photographer in the Vietnam War.

Chapter a Day® is heard daily at 12:30pm and 11:00pm
on the Ideas Network stations of Wisconsin Public Radio

The five most recent chapters are available for RealAudio
on-demand listening on the Chapter-a-Day Webcasting page.

Let me know if you find the book interesting. This is just an experiment so if it doesn't work, no worries. We'll try something else.
