This schedule is very tentative. We have graduation testing this week, which affects our class schedule. Also, I am nearing my due date, so anything can happen! The teacher who is filling in for me while I'm out on maternity leave has been hired and is ready to start teaching at any time. She will pick up with the lessons and carry on with class so that all material is covered before the End of Course test in May.
