Teaching my regular classes at the Ross Farnsworth - East Valley YMCA.

Seven students ended up taking kyu exams last night and, as expected, everyone did well. There are grading standards, to be sure, but I also recognize and understand different students’ strengths and challenges and grade accordingly. As usual, results will be announced at the next class so I have time to prepare individualized, written feedback for each examinee. I also had some parents send me photos and videos, so I’ll be sharing a few of those on Facebook as soon as I can get to it.

On another note, I had 19 students attend class, including two new members of the youth class. Things are continuing to grow, and I’m grateful.
