The calendar says Augustand that means back to school.
No, it cant be. I always thoughtstudents didnt go back toschool until the day after Labor
Day.I guess those days are gone
because I know in just a days
the parking lot at Granite Bay
High School will be full and thetraffic on East Roseville Park-
way will be congested duringthe morning and afternoonhours.
At least the students in theelementary schools still have afew more weeks of summer
bliss.It seems like yesterday when
my own two daughters lived at
home and we all enjoyed oursummer breaks, even though itfelt like each season was short-
er and shorter.I remember the thrill they
had shopping for school sup-
plies, buying new backpacks,notebooks and folders. Finding
that perfect lunchbox withLittle Mermaid or Beautyand the Beast and the match-
ing thermos made the daycomplete.
I also recall both of them
waiting in anticipation for theday before school when wedgo to their school campus to
see which teacher they wouldhave, and the most importantpart, checking the student list
to see how many friends wouldbe in their class.
Even though we dont have
those same end-of-summerrituals anymore at our house, Iknow the process continues for
many families in our commu-nity.
In this issue weve d

Water, water everywhere norany drop to drink.
Gail Rainwater is a firmbeliever in you are what youdrink.
Unfortunately, according toRainwater, what comes out ofthe tap isnt always whats right
for a healthy body.Enter Kangen Water, a com-
pany that has enjoyed success
for 34 years in Japan, but is fair-ly new on the scene in theUnited States.
Kangen, pronounced congon, means return to the ori-gin. Kangen is a device that
filters water, to be sure, but itsmuch more than a mere waterfilter according to Rainwater.
Attached to your sink, thedevice creates an electrolysisprocess, which splits the H 2O
molecules in half, creating neg-ative ions. In other words, itseparates the water into an
acidic molecule, which is idealfor cleaning purposes, and an
alkaline molecule, whichmeans healthier drinkingwater said Rainwater.
Rainwater said she becameinterested in the device while
suffering from health prob-lems.
Somebody brought overthis container of water for us to
try. I have arthritis in my kneeand lower back, she said. Istarted drinking the water and
I found I was able to go up anddown the stairs more easily.When we ran out of the water,
the problems came right back,so we went and bought amachine.
Rainwater was excited aboutthe idea of helping others, anddecided to become a represen-
tative for Kangen water herself.Its my goal just to educatepeople. Lots of people with
health problems want to justtake a pill, she said. When I
hurt my knee, my doctor justsaid, heres an anti-inflamma-tory, heres some pain pills.
Theres nothing we can do.
But Rainwater didnt acceptthe doctors diagnosis.
She thinks people are
becoming more aware of beinggreen of not using chemicalsin their bodies, and outside as
well.
I want to share with people who are more attuned to
homeopathic remedies, shesaid. Once people start feel-ing better after drinking the
water, they really want to geteducated about health andchange their lifestyles.
Candi Lozano, a Roseville
resident who has been usingthe Kangen water device for
almost a year, couldnt agreemore completely.
I tried the water at Gails
house, and it helped the veryfirst day with my allergies.
After a week of drinking thewater, I had no allergies at all,she said.
In addition, Lozano credits
the water for curing her of hermigraine headaches shed beensuffering from since she was a
child.I said, Im not having
headaches anymore, wow.She saved her pennies and
bought a Kangen device assoon as she could.
I couldnt live without it,
she said. When I go out to arestaurant, I bring my own lit-tle bottle of water. I wont even
touch any other water.In addition, Lozano said the
water has helped her familydog, an Akita, with chronic hipproblems and arthritis.
The machine has several set-tings for different acid or alka-line levels in the water.
While water with a high lev-el of acidity isnt consideredoptimal drinking water, the
acidity is preferred for cleaningand killing viruses and bacteriaon surfaces.
Strong-acid water kills sal-monella, e-coli, HIV virus and just a wealth of bacteria and
germs, Rainwater sa
hospitals this (water) iuse to wash hands begery, and also to
equipment.According to RainwKangen system is use

tutions. She said the Jconsider the treated H

Time to go back to school are they read
BY EILEEN WILSON
GRANITE BAY VIEW
Pencils and post-its have
been purchased, backpacksand binder paper bought withcare. But teachers and princi-
pals know that kids back-to-school readiness cant bebought in any store.
There are several ways par-ents can help kids do well inschool.
Principals from EurekaUnion School Districts upperelementary and junior high
schools were asked to sharetheir secrets.
Fourth grade is a year of
great significance. Studentsare transitioning from class-size reduction (20 students or
fewer) to classes closer to 30,said Ridgeviews Principal,Patrice McCallum. Students
get less individual attentionfrom teachers, and in fourthgrade, students are transition-
ing from learning to read, toreading to learn.
Diane Duncan, principal atExcelsior agrees.
Students are used to receiv-ing more attention fromadults. It can be a difficulttransition for parents to let go
and let their child learn frommistakes, she said.
McCallum said the first step
to help ease the transitionfrom K-3 to upper grades is tovisit the campus before the
first day of school, attend thestudent/parent orientation,and attend the class assign-
ment night.Fourth grade is often a more
difficult transition for the par-
ents than it is for the students,McCallum said, citing thatfourth grade is an important
time for kids to assume moreresponsibility.
Parents need to stay
involved, but need to let their
child revel in their successes soit is authentic success. They
also need to let their child learn
by mistakes, she said.Duncan added kids will ulti-
mately be more successful ifparents allow them to takeresponsibility. The parents
role can be to support theclassroom teacher by enforcing
school responsibilities andexpectations at home.
In EUSD we are very fortu-
nate to have supportive par-ents that get involved and ask
thoughtful questions whenthey need clarification, Dun-can said. I would say that
keeping this positive focus isthe keystone of success for our
children.Though the principals
encourage personal responsi-
bility in students, they encour-age parent involvement too.
We love and welcome par-ent involvement, McCallumsaid.
But she acknowledges it canbe difficult for parents, espe-
cially with their oldest
know when or howinvolved.
When in doubt, teacher or principal.here to help and as

Jennifer Platt and Kham, principals of Ca

The main thing
need to do is take an acin their childs educatiin contact with the
teachers, and on top oand student organGraham said. But

full independence. Juniorhigh is where you have to pro-
vide a structure that kids canhave freedom within.
Another important way she
said parents can help studentssucceed during their schoolcareers is to support the
school, by reinforcing schoolrules at home, and showingrespect for kids teachers.
Kids can work through prob-lems they may have in class byapproaching the teacher on
their own, with their parentshelp, Platt said. We need toteach kids how to approach
their teachers respectfully.In addition, children who are
expected to follow the rules at
home, will be more likely tofollow rules at school.
The community needs to
recognize that our rules are notintended to oppress theyreintended to provide a struc-
ture, and that freedoms can begiven within that structure. Wehave to run a safe and orderlyenvironment, and protect your
child, and 500 others as well,Platt said.
Duncan suggests the most
important way parents canhelp their kids in school is byfinding a way to stay involved,
by volunteering.It truly does take a village to
raise our children, and by stay-
ing involved, we can continue tobe partners with the same goalof raising strong citizens who
can think critically and makegood decisions, Duncan said.
The EUSD principals said
they are looking forward to agreat year, and welcoming allthe children. They stressed
the fun activities, not justschool rules and policies, are what make the school year
special.

As a gift from two Granite

and allow the players to talk
and breathe normally. Theyoffer the most protection,Dahle said, because they
adhere to all crevices of thebite and minimize the shockof the collision.
According to the National Youth Sports Foundation forthe Prevention of Athletic
Injuries, victims of serious
tooth damage may face life-time dental costs of $10,000 -
$15,000 per tooth, hours in thedental office and a serious riskof developing periodontal dis-
ease.Its too late to deal with
these injuries after they hap-
pen, Zanzi said. But if we canhelp prevent them, were morethan happy to care of the
team.The importance of using a
mouth guard that protects all
surfaces of the teeth cannot beoverstated, Jacobson said.
Everyone is learning aboutwhat quality dentistry can dofor quality of life, he said.
Athletes interested in thefree dental services visitedZanzi and Jacobson to get
molds taken of their teeth andthe impressions were sent to
the Dahles lab. From thereDahle spent, from beginning
to end, about 40 minutes oncreating the actual mouthguard. Each student was pro-
vided with one mouth guard; ifthey wished to purchase an
additional, they could buy oneat a discounted price of $12.
Im just so impressed thattheyre concerned with ourboys health, said GBHS Foot-
ball Team and field supportparent Teri Keeney, who has a
son on the varsity footballteam. Here are these doctors

GRANITE BAY VIEW
Summer days are coming to
an end.Just when parents thought
they couldnt take another dayof having the kids at home, itstime to head back to school.
Getting ready for a newschool year can be easy andstress-free for kids and par-
ents with a little guidance andpreparation before the bigday.
2 WEEKS BEFORE
Shop for school supplies.Try to shop for supplies as
early as possible to take
advantage of back-to-schoolsales that can help reduce thecost of many essentials like
notebooks and pencils.Many teachers will provide
a list of required materials for
each student as well as com-
munity supplies for the class-room. Remember, many
classrooms are desperate for
paper towels and tissues byChristmas break. Go through
your childs school suppliesfrom the previous year andreuse whenever possible. Get
more bang from last yearsbuck by re-using folders,binders and half-full note-
books.
CLOTHING
Unless your school requiresa uniform, back-to-school
clothes shopping can causeheadaches for families andtheir budgets.
Go through your childsdresser and closet and get ridof clothes that are ruined or
no longer fit. Donate gentlyworn items to local charitieslike Salvation Army or ReNew
boutique in Roseville. Pur-
chase the essentials duringsummer back-to-school sales
taking into consideration
clothing your child alreadyhas. Choose a special first day
of school outfit with yourchild and make sure yourchilds clothing complies with
school dress code policies.
BACKPACK
If a new backpack is in orderthis year, make sure lugging
books and homework isnt apain in the back.
Look for a backpack with
wide, padded shoulder strapsand a padded back. A back-pack with an additional waist
belt will help distribute weightmore evenly, reducing shoul-der strain.
Bigger isnt better when itcomes to backpacks. Look fora small backpack that will suit
your childs needs and fit their
school sup-
plies. Ideally,a backpackrests against
thecurve ofthe lower
back and isno wider thanthe childs tor-
so.
If a wheeledbackpack isthe route youchoose, check
with yourschool first.Backpacks

from school if they are walk-
ing or biking or walk to thebus stop a few times beforethe big day.
Sometimes school campus-es are open the week leadingup to the first day of school.
The first day at a new schoolis especially unnerving so atour of the campus without
the excitement and chaos of
other children may put back-to-school jitters to rest. Make
sure your child knows wheretheir classroom and the near-est bathroom is located.
If your child will be dealingwith lockers, practice open-ing a locker at home with a
combination lock or sched-ule a time when your childcan find their new locker and
practice at school.
THE NIGHT BEFORE
The summer has endedand its back to hitting thebooks and making the
grades. Do some prep workthe night before and morningof the first day of school will
run smoothly.Load up backpacks with
the necessary school sup-
plies. Label your childs sup-plies with their name if nec-essary.
Help your child lay outtheir first day of school outfitin their room. Cut off tags
and remove stickers to avoidmaking a fashion faux pasduring the morning rush.
Remember undergarments,
socks and shoes.If your child will be brown
bagging it on the first day,
make lunch the night before.This is a habit that can alsobe continued throughout the
year to relieve morning stressand ensure a healthy lunch.
Finally, make sure the
alarms are set and get goodnight sleep.

Summer continues to be a
fabulous time for revitalizingreading with wonderful ener-gizing games, enticing theme-
packed activities and bondingas parent and child explore theworld of print together.
Delving into some projects,
which incorporate reading isnot only inspiring but helpful
in promoting effective readers. With the childs undividedattention, opportunities for
success are heightened.Parents are instrumental in
modeling good reading skills
and expanding a childs inter-est in learning.
COLLECT MATERIALS
Visit the library for goodbooks, which grab your childs
attention. Ask for the award- winning Caldecott and New-berry book lists; discover what
heightens your childs interest.Roam the aisles in book-
stores and investigate maga-
zines like Ladybug for theyounger set and Highlights,Cricket and National Geo-
graphic Kids for 7-10- year-olds; browse the shelves forlearning games that vitalize
important reading concepts.
GAMES
A favorite pastime for mostchildren is choosing and play-ing games. Family Game
Nights are very popular. Boardgames, in particular, developvocabulary and other skills.
Additionally, the child learns tofollow rules, take turns andlearn to be a good sport.
The computer offers a goldmine of games and provides afabulous resource for alphabet
recognition, vocabulary devel-opment, comprehension,phonics skills, problem solving
and poetry.Look at different school Web
sites; examine sites teachers
have originated, appropriatelydeveloped for your childs abil-ity and interest levels. See
AgameAday.com and Puzzle-maker.com. Have your childdevelop a game, initiating the
rules and teaching someoneelse to play.
BRAIN STIMULATION
A child becomes an adeptreader by reading, reading andreading. Brainteasers develop
vocabulary and refine spellingskills. Crossword puzzles, word search, hidden words,
word mazes, word hunts,
unscrambling words and rebuswriting are memory boosters.
Good selections are availableat most bookstores or schoolsupply stores
For vocabulary, try a Web siteon word for the day then printthe word and discuss the word
at the dinner table and again atbreakfast time. Use the diction-ary for word hunts, play word
Bingo and make up sentences,adding another word each dayfrom your childs word collec-
tion.For a reading and writing
activity, cut up comic strips.
Have the child put the strips inorder and rewrite the comic by
using his own words. Useblank comic strips as well soyour child can create his own
cartoon.
KEEP PHONICS ALIVE
Have your child be the
author and illustrator of booksfeaturing diagraphs (i.e., voice-less st, sh, ch, th, etc.), blends
(i.,e., voiced fl, bl, gr, sm, etc.)and rhyming words (i.e., plainand brain) and compound
words (i.e., understand, intoand something). Make up sillysentences and funny poems.
Celebrate each success with anAuthors Night. Peruse the Webfor excellent samples of poetry,
such as Haiku and limericks.

Lets face it, the extra pounds
were carrying around are dueto overeating - plain and sim-ple. Why do we overeat? Here
are a few likely reasons:
HABIT
Whether you realize it or not,
you eat in a learned pattern,rather than out of need. You
clean your plate because thatswhat your mother taught. Youeat what is served without
stopping if you are full. Youbutter two pieces of toast forbreakfast even if one piece
would do the job.
ABSENTMINDEDNESSYou forget to pay attention
when you eat.Mindless munching while
watching a movie, snacking
while driving, or picking atfood while cooking - theseabsentminded calories really
add up.
SOMETHING DEEPER
Sometimes you use food forrecreation or to change yourmood. These calories may lend
you a temporary sense of com-fort or pleasure, but ultimately your body suffers from the
indulgence.
Read these three steps andapply them to your life:
STEP 1: PAY ATTENTION
Be aware of what and how
much you eat. This simple con-cept will save you from hun-dreds upon hundreds of calo-
ries each week.Dont eat while your atten-
tion is distracted. Only put
food in your mouth when youare hungry and conscious of it.This means turn off the TV, get
out of your car, and no matterwhat you do, dont graze in thekitchen while cooking.
STEP 2: PRACTICE
BALANCE
Be aware of the types of foodthat you eat during each meal,and make sure that its bal-
anced. When you eat a bal-
anced diet filled with lean pro-
tein, whole grains, lots of veg-gies, a few daily servings offruit and limited fat and
sweets, your body will be satis-fied and youll lose the urge toovereat.
This means you shouldnt
always eat carb-based meals orhigh-fat meals. Make a mental
checklist of the food groupsthat youve eaten each day. Didyou eat lean protein? Did you
have plenty of vegetables? Didyou refrain from eating morethan one or two primarily
carb-based meals? This mentalchecklist will save you frommaking food decisions that
youd later regret.
STEP 3: BE TUNED IN
Your body will always tellyou when its hunger has beensatisfied - youve just gotten so
good at ignoring the signs thatyou barrel through your mealonly to feel like youve been hit
by a ton of bricks once all thatfood hits your stomach. Itstime to take a deep breath and
listen to your body.
An important part
tuned in is to eat slowyou start to pay attentinotice a point when e
becomes less and lessing. That is your bodyletting you know tha
had enough and that e

Have you packed enoughfun and adventure in to yoursummer?
There are just a few weeksleft before the kids head off toschool. But theres still time to
experience some great get-aways that are not too faraway. And the best part is they
wont break the family budget.Fun, adventurous, and (dont
tell the kids), educational out-
ings are available across ourgreat state many within atwo- hour drive.
So grab the sunscreen, packthe cooler and get ready forfamily fun time.
Mission San FranciscoSolano de Sonoma is an inter-esting and educational place to
visit, and its just 90 miles fromyour front door.
The mission, the only one
built under Mexican rule, isCalifornias northernmost and
last-established mission.Built in 1824, and the oldest
building in Sonoma, this struc-
ture is just one of a handful ofhistorical sites located within
Sonoma State Historic Park and the price of admission, $2,will allow visitors to enter all ofthem.
About 1,700 school kids passthrough the historic park eachmonth, as well as 4,000 visitors.
A lot of students come inwhen schools in session, and alot of parents bring their kids,
said Barbara Stephen, park vol-unteer. Kids really like the giftshop.
Stephen thinks the missionis a special place.
California started right
here, she said.In 1832, nearly 1,000 NativeAmericans were in residence,
working about 10,000 acres ofland for crops and livestock.
Next to the mission is Sono-ma Barracks, which housedMexican Army troops after
General Vallejo moved his gar-rison from San Francisco to
Sonoma.Probably the most eye-
catching of the buildings, is
Vallejos home itself, which is within walking distance(almost a mile) from the mis-
sion itself.The Gothic-style Victorian
has been preserved, showcas-ing several period furnishings.For the nature enthusiast, the
water reservoir behind thehome is filled with paddlingturtles.
And when young minds, andold, have finished soaking up

dessert spot.Grilled-to-order hamburg-
ers, and slices of chocolate-
mousse cake on the outdoor
patio top off a perfect visit toSonoma.
If youre looking for adven-ture, Moaning Cavern, Califor-nias largest cave chamber, is
the place for you. Located inGold Country, the cavern isjust one of several caves where
spelunking adventures areoffered.
The standard cave tour lasts
45 minutes, and explains thehistory and geology of thecave, including stalactites, sta-
lagmites, flows and other stoneformations.
Be prepared to descend into
cool and humid conditions, asmore than 200 stairs take visi-
tors 165 feet beneath theearths surface.
Real adventurers may
choose to rappel into the caveon ropes, zigging betweenclosely-spaced rock forma-
tions, before entering the huge,
open chasm below. Kids mustbe 12 and older to rappel.
Possibly the most exciting
adventure at Moaning Cavernis the new 1,500-foot zip line, which reaches speeds of 40
mph.Twin lines allow you to zip
individually, or race a friend. Aword of advice, the right lineseems to go a little faster thanthe left.
Extreme cavers can take athree-hour spelunking adven-ture, and there is also a climb-
ing wall, gemstone-miningactivity, gold panning andmore.
I highly recommend every-thing that we do, said Duane
Harnes, Zip Line manager. Wehave something for just aboutevery budget.
Harnes explained that evenscared-of-heights visitors whomay be intimidated by the Zip
Line, go home happy.The most common thing I
hear from kids who were
scared is, can I do that again?he said. Moaning Cavern isjust one of five locations where

Fireworks displays are theperfect reminder of love for ourcountry.
But Amanda Coyle doesntneed a red, white and bluereminder she honors, serves,
and yes, loves her countryevery day.
Coyle, a 2005 Granite Bay
High School graduate, is part ofthe United States Armys ROTCprogram. ROTC, or Reserve
Officers Training Corps, isconsidered by many as one ofthe best leadership courses in
the country, and is part of hercollege curriculum.
Coyle, who will graduate
from UCLA this month with aclassical history degree, alwaysknew she wanted to be in the
army, but didnt really know thebest path to get there.
I wanted to go to West Point
since I was in fifth grade, shesaid.
Originally interested in med-icine, her passion turned to lawenforcement. It wasnt until
her school counselor told herabout the ROTC program, and
the opportunity to receive a fullscholarship to UCLA, that shedecided to earn her place inthe armed services as an offi-
cer, a second lieutenant to beexact.
My four years at UCLA have
been paid for my books andmy insurance too, she said.
She describes the program
as comparable to being a full-time athlete. Coyle has physi-cal training each morning, in
addition to field training, where she learns tactics andsurvival.
She attributes the rigorousactivity to keeping her in excel-lent physical condition and
keeping her grounded. And yes, for those who are
wondering, ROTC is very muchlike full-time boot camp, inCoyles opinion.
The more I found out aboutROTC, the more it sounded like
boot camp, she said. My
mom said if you think bootcamp sounds like fun, then thisis the place for you.
Coyle isnt alone. Accordingto ROTCs Web site, more than20,000 cadets are enrolled in
the program at any given time.The program has graduatednotables like Colin Powell, for-
mer Secretary of State, andChairman of the Joint Chiefs ofStaff, and Sam Walton, founder
of Walmart.Though Coyle is one of
approximately 4,000 females in
the program, she has made aname for herself as the captainof her schools Ranger Chal-
lenge Team, which shedescribes as ROTCs version ofa sports team where they com-
pete with other schools in
activities like making ropebridges, physical training tests,grenade throwing (an activitythat she admits is nerve wrack-
ing), and more.In addition, Coyle was the
only female to be invited to
participate in both summerand winter Mountain Warfareschools sessions in which
students engage in rock climb-ing, first aid, ice climbing, and winter survival; skills which
Coyle said are very applicableto the war going on inAfghanistan.
I was there with Special
Forces guys and Rangers. shesaid. Some people have actu-
ally gotten hypothermia inAfghanistan, so this is relevanttraining.
In addition to many ROTCaccomplishments, Coyle wasselected as this years recipient
of the Selfless Service Award,an award, which is given to aUCLA ROTC student each year,
and is named for Mark Daily, aprogram graduate who was
killed in Iraq a few years ago.Mark was an amazing per-
son an honors graduate,
Coyle said. He was in the mid-dle of a convoy and left hissecure vehicle, to ride in an
unsecured one. His last actwas saving people.
Humbled, Coyle is honored
to receive the award, and saidshe feels it is her responsibilityto live up to Dailys legacy, and
to continue in the high stan-
dards that he set.Mark Daily was seen as a
hero in every sense of the
word, said John Segale, aGranite Bay resident, andfriend of the Coyle family. He
put his lifes dreams on hold toserve his country and the Self-less Service Award was estab-
lished as a legacy award tohonor his memory and recog-nize outstanding young cadets
who exemplify his honor, com-mitment, and selfless actions.
This fall, Coyle will leave herSouthern California home offour years, and head to Okla-
homa, Missouri, and Washing-ton state for additional train-ing, where she will attend
SWAT school, rifle marksman-ship and hand-to-hand com-bat training.
When her training is com-plete, she will be a member ofthe military police a position,
which she says will allow her toget the most action in over-seas deployment.
Though worried, her mother,Robin Coyle, couldnt be moreproud.
Any parent would be wor-ried, of course, but Amandassense of duty to her country is
so strong all I can do is sup-port her, she said.
Im hoping for a deploy-
ment, Amanda Coyle said.
Ive now been doing this forfour years you can only pre-pare for so long. Ive seensome of my friends deploy two
times already. Mentally Imready.
Robin Coyle sums it up,
neatly. I just have to say tomyself, Thank God there arepeople like her.

Its back to school time, so letthe fiesta begin.
Sombrero Time, a Spanishimmersion program in GraniteBay, is so fun for kids, accord-
ing to owners Ruth and David
Finsthwait, every day is a cele-bration.
But learning Spanish isnt allfun and games. Its work too.Students learn to understand,
speak, read and write Spanish all with the goal of creating flu-ent Spanish- speaking kids,
who will become global citi-zens.
Ruth and David Finsthwait
started the program in theirown driveway two years ago, toanswer a need that they said
couldnt be met in the commu-nity.
I was looking for a language
program for my own kids,Ruth Finsthwait said, But Ididnt find a program that I
thought was immersive that would create functional lan-
guage speakers.Ruth has a bilingual teaching
credential and a mastersdegree in special education.She credits the STAR programfor offering language instruc-
tion at area schools, but saidthe frequency of classes, andthe fact that instruction isnt
immersive, meaning instruc-tors use English, rather thanSpanish, prohibits kids from
becoming fluent.I thought having Sombrero
Time would be fun for my kids
to learn with friends, Ruthsaid. I just put a big sign outand got eight to 10 neighbor-
hood kids to come in the sum-mer, three days a week.
When a neighbor asked Ruth
to continue language instruc-tion during the school year, abusiness was born.
Were growing and werereally excited to be opening in
the Treelake Village Center,right next to Robeks, Ruth
said.Today, Ruth writes her own
curriculum and oversees three
teachers, who are all nativeSpanish speakers.
David Finsthwait is
immersed in developing thetechnology side of the busi-
ness, as well.Theres not a lot of technol-
ogy available to help kids learn
language, he said. Were working on developing anapplication for the iPod touch
and iPhone.The couple said the
second- and third-grdents, but classes areall elementary student
are taught Tuesday. Friday.
In addition, Mommy
classes and kindergartes will be available so
possible junior high aschool tutoring anclasses in the future as
The Finsthwaits saare pleased with sprogress.
In two years time, wwriting sample from Kids were writing 24 to
tences in Spanish andactually thinking in SRuth Finsthwait said.
Parents might ask possible to learn fromimmersion, rather tha
