what a great idea about the free homework passes. Teaching is not always easy so to come up with an idea that the entire school would participate in, is quite the challenge.

This is another great installment. It smoothly carries the story along. I continue to enjoy your use of space and choice of font. I look forward to the next installment.

Okay, so Katherine is in for a shock of some sort? You've got me guessing, or maybe I've got me guessing. But it's good either way when you have my mind wondering. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Barb,

What a fun chapter - though I do not like the ominous growling when they are out and near Katherine's house. Yuck. I'm anxious to find out what's causing that and GET RID OF IT. I trust Gabe will handle that -- and sooner, rather than later... yuck!

Notes, if I may:
1.) "Heavens no! We have a facility meeting in a little while.
--> 'facility' or 'faculty' ?

2.) High football is a national pass-time in Texas.
--> I like the play on the word 'pass' like in football - fun! But I think you mean 'pastime'. You're cute - even when you may not mean to be!

Thanks for the smiles!

Nice suspense in this chapter. The dog's are on alert and now Gabriel is up to something too.
The math board is a nice touch because it shows a different side to Katherine - her dedication and creativity as a teacher.
Check out Redford Mom's profile if you haven't already. She is writing a memoir about teaching and used football to teach kids math.
But that's just for your interest. You've already created a realistic character and your story is moving along just fine.

The dog continues to be unsettled. That is a common thread running through each episode along with the slowly burgeoning romance. Looking forward to the coontinuation.

I like the way you keep the mystery going in the background and keep building the tension while also keeping the everyday activities moving along. Katherine is really fitting in at school.

Someone else probably already pointed this out, but just in case--I think you meant "or" in this sentence:

Is it only for your classes for can anyone participate?

This work has reached the exceptional level

I would have gone in for that if it meant a free homework pass. Lol. And I bet most of the school will too..
Now, Barbara, I am getting rather concerned about what Reggie keeps growling at. I'd let him go and get whoever is spying on Katherine. I think it has something to do with that maniac Frost! Did Gabriel phone someone to look into it? Hmm, so much happening that we don't know about. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

I always enjoy reading this. This story seem to have a lot going on and I always look forward to more. I am interesting in the mystery of what is going on with the dogs and with Katherine's relationship with the coach and his interest in her boys. I always look forward to more.
