Today was my first "class session" with Katya. She sent me her completed "interest list" and "activities list." As scheduled, I tried to video chat with Katya today at 10, but she never picked up. I wrote back to Katya, thanking her for the two lists, saying I would get back to her with (1) my ideas on what we might want to do based on her input, and (2) how many class sessions she and I have before the semester is over. (Her brother's sessions with me, Nicole told me, will end on May 6th). I am also wondering whether there is any flexibility in Katya's schedule (and mine) in case Katya would be better off with one-hour sessions and/or in case Katya needs more class sessions to make up for the four Friday sessions Katya never attended (for a total of 8 hours of instruction). In the interim, I told Katya to work on the art contest project I had sent to her two weeks ago.
