WW, she's already signed up in something called The Bridges Program that gets 8th graders ready for the transition to high school. It teaches them study and organizational skills. She needs that more than she needs math help. I've talked to her math teacher, and she gets it, she just doesn't like it. That's why her math grades are so poor. She's always been in the advanced math class except for this year when she requested to not be enrolled in it.

She wants to volunteer at the Humane Society this summer, and I'm going to try my hardest to get her to some workshops that the Appleton Art Center holds. They're usually 4-5 week classes that run one night a week for a couple of hours. Some of them are pretty expensive though. I think she might have to enroll in adult classes now, so then the price goes up even more, but the choices of classes increases too.

It's so frustrating when what my heart wants to do for my kids is more than my finances can handle, especially when they're things that some parents take for granted at being able to provide.
