Back to school for everyone 2025!

To get down to business the first day the Art studio is open is September 13th.

Classes are still available Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Schedule is not really changed from last year. But I would like to note that it has become harder over the last years to place students in strict levels. But I have been making it work.

In where the personal meets the professional, I will explain what is going on so that you will all have a better understanding what has happened and what will likely happen with art lessons and camp.

I had a good summer. I did run a camp. It was only the Out and About program as this was both what was most requested and worked best with my son being there (more on that further down). I did not promote or advertise art camp much because it wasn’t until a few weeks before summer started that I was even sure that I could hold a camp program. I also feared having to last minute cancel. This is because my son who is now two years old, acquired a secondary autoimmune condition in his GI tract due medication prescribed to maintain the health of his liver transplant.

It’s not an unknown complication, but not common. More unusual was the usual course of treatment failed to work for him so it was an on going issue for nearly year that unfortunately has had some consequences for my son Callum. It lead to a number of hospital stays and appointments where other pediatric transplant recipients I know had began to thrive, Callum was not.

The good news is just before summer we were finally able to change medications and within two weeks my son had improved dramatically. With my son being much better in time for summer camp he still needed his symptoms monitored. With the help of my wonderful volunteers who watched and entertained Callum, I was able to successfully have him with me during camp.

He continues to heal internally but otherwise thrive as my family starts to settle into a more normal existence with a toddler. On an emotional end I am having to let the stress leave my body and put some effort into my own health and well-being. I will aim to put more effort into the business side.

Callum is now able to join a daycare program and going forward I should be able to resume offering my summer camp programs, both, in the Studio and Out and About for 2026. I will also have more time for admin.

For this coming school year my son is still immune compromised as he will be for most likely for life. But much less so with each year. His medical team have advised he attend day care. We know he is going to get sick as all children in daycare do, especially in recent years. When he does it will likely take him longer for him to get over basic viruses. Some may send him to hospital, especially stomach flus. This will affect weekday classes. I expect to have to cancel some weeks due to Callum being sick and not able to attended daycare. My husband is able to take some days off but not all. I may be able to look into getting another teacher to cover, but I am unsure if parents and students would prefer this or not. Please share with me your thoughts.

I am hoping because of my work, indirectly Callum has already begun his journey of building his immune system, though at home last year he was sick a lot with colds and flues. That he’s already been exposed that this year may not be as bad as we were told to expect. Crossing our fingers.

I am so thrilled to come back to class and to see all the new and returning faces! I love the fall. I have some new ideas, and I know for returning students they are all going to be asking when they will do another sculpture project. I will aim for earlier in the school year this time.

Hope to see everyone soon,

-Katherine

Hello!

hoping everyone had a wonderful summer!

I was able this summer to have a half day camp for 2 weeks and it was so much fun. I got my creative juices flowing again and am so ready to get back to the thick of it.

Classes are back from September 14th. I will be updating this website with new information as I can find a moment here and there to get away from my toddler. As I write this I am hiding in the bedroom as my son doesn’t know I am home. haha.

Basically the schedule is the same and as I write this there’s space available in all time slots. But that will change.

One big change currently there will be no classes on Sunday. Maybe in the future I can revisit this, but for now there simply wasn’t enough interest last year with a different teacher and I am not able to be available.

In other less then happy news I am being forced to raise prices. I have done so for the previous 2 years, but I must do so again. Though I have recently started increasing in the last two years, before that I had not at all since opening MartinArts.

The prices of art supplies alone have increased way above the rate of inflation and food. The most affordable art supply stores in the GTA went out of business two years ago and since then the remaining stores have not had the competition to keep prices down, many prices have doubled.

Online art supply stores other then for markers and pencil crayons are just as expensive or more. Then of course there’s the pesky inflation we are all feeling. I am not happy about have to do this for a third year.

I believe despite the price increase my prices will still be very competitive compared to other art classes. if anyone is having difficultly affording my classes at the new price please come to speak to me!

So as many have already read last year at this time was a difficult for me, as my then four month old baby was listed for a liver transplant. Thankfully he received his gift of life October 18 2023. I was back to teaching in November. I was masking to prevent getting my son sick who was extremely immune compromised post transplant. I had asked for the understanding of parents and students to work with me to keep students home if they were sick and to mask if they had recently been around someone sick.

It was a huge success!!! Thanks to everyone! With all the help of my parents and students, my child did not catch a single cold while he was in isolation at home with my husband. Other then COVID at Christmas which was due to an ER visit.

He is nearly a year post transplant without any rejection, that means he will be much less immune compromised from the middle of October. Colds will however continue to hit him differently then the average toddler. So during cold and flu season I will go back to wearing masks in public. But the consequences are far less dire, and just annoying. Colds will last longer then in the average child. So we are looking to limit exposure within reason. So if a student comes to class with symptoms I will provide them with a mask to wear and keep more of a distance. As a side note, COVID interestingly is not a threat to my son, in children it generally isn’t, but immune suppression medication in the case of COVID seems to make it even more mild, in most cases. In fact it went through my family recently and we barley noticed he was sick. It got me bad and that is why I am late in updating the website this year just getting back to feeling like myself now.

I am once again very much looking forward to all the art we will make this school year!!

You can stop reading now, as this is the major updates for the studio.

For anyone interested you can keep reading and I will give a deeper dive into an update with my son and everything that happened in the last year.

Well it’s been a year. There were some complications after the surgery. Callum had an excessive build up of fluid after and it lead to him have a partially collapsed lung and a hernia. This left him on oxygen longer and and just delayed getting him out of ICU and bring him home. But we got through that. At home care was intense. We had a nurse that came daily to administer medication through a kind of IV called a PICC line. Difference is it goes more directly to the heart. The risk of infection was great and we had to be very careful and sanitize everything daily, including Callum. But somehow we got through that without infection. We did however have many issues with the line itself as it turns out they don’t make them for babies, so the line didn’t fit the curve of his body and internally kept popping out of place and blocking the line. That brought us to the ER twice. He also had an Ng tube for awhile and we had to teach him to eat my mouth again. Just before Christmas we stopped needing the NG tube. In January we got that PICC line out. I took a giant sigh of relief.

Things went smoothly for a while. Then one of the two virus that are not a threat to most children and adults but is especially to transplant babies started to increase in number. With going back on to anti viral medication that eventually went away. We also were having issues with low hemoglobin and after an endoscopy they found an ulcer. That was in late winter. Once we stopped the anti viral medication common virus number two spiked up this spring. This can turn into a specific form of lymphoma that only occurs in transplant patients. An other endoscopy was done and it was close. He was on the verge of getting lymphoma. With one part luck, Callum appearing some have some natural resistance and the medical team’s intervention we are fortunate to say we avoided having to go down the path of dealing with lymphoma. But it will remain a possibility going forward. But the risk will lessen. That was July. So not going to lie that kind of ruined the summer.

Problem was there was still the mystery of why both is iron and hemoglobin was dropping. Callum had had to have 6 blood transfusions, one every month. We finally have an answer. He is having a reaction to the anti rejection medication. It’s causing white blood cells to clump together and make sores that he has blood loss from in his GI tract and also block his absorption of nutrients depending on where these white blood cells cluster. We are currently treating this buying time until he can change medications to one that will likely not cause this secondary chronic condition. We can do this in October and hopefully it will go away.

Now for the good news. Callum despite it all is doing great!!!! His liver is doing wonderful. We haven’t had some of the more typical complications. It looks like he won’t be rejecting his new liver, it’s healing nicely, and practically functioning in the normal range in less then a year post transplant which is amazing. He reached the milestone of crawling. Kids like him often skip crawling. He’s now on his way to walking. It’s so close. He’s a happy normal little boy despite all he’s gone through. He’s still a charmer. He will be around at the studio from time to time. So if you see him give him a wave and a big smile. He’s still working on waving but he will smile back!

See you all soon Katherine!

As many already know, I took some time off for maternity leave, and I had a baby. My baby boy was born May 1st and we named him Callum Wolf. He came two weeks late……I hated waiting. But naturally I was thrilled to finally hold him in my arms.

I do now have some sad news to share about Callum, he was born with a rare condition, biliary atresia.

This conditon can take many different paths, but all eventually lead to the need for a liver transplant. We didn’t know what path he would take, until recently.

At five weeks old my son had a surgery that hopefully would buy him the time to grow and get bigger before a liver transplant. Some with this condition can go until adulthood until a transplant is needed. Unfortunately his surgery was determined a failure right away and now at 4 months old he list listed for a liver transplant.

As you can guess the last 4 months have been difficult.

This isn’t all bad news, that Callum needs the transplant so early. We don’t have to wait in suspense, when will he need the transplant? When will he get sick? We know he needs it now. We know he will get better after he gets it. Many born with this condition may not need a transplant for a while, they can live with complications and going in and out of hospital on a regular basis. We skip all that! and go straight to the end part.

We are lucky enough to live near a hospital, SickKids, that have no size limits on when they feel they can pull off a liver transplant on a baby. They know what they are doing.

I want everyone to know Callum’s prospects look really good. In fact for a sick baby he looks really good. He’s shaping up into a happy little boy, who charms the socks off most people. He’s super cute, some of you have already met him. I will share the pictures in person. Soo many pictures.

Currently he is at SickKids and I live with him there. This will be the case until about a month or more after he receives a liver. Hopefully it will happen this fall or early winter.

There are a few reasons why I am sharing this with you.

Classes are coming back this fall!! YAY

But I will need to add some rules.

Basically upon transplant my son will be on immune suppressant medication at a very high dose. That means regular colds could be deadly to him. He will be extremely immunocompromised. Before transplant, if he gets any colds and suddenly a liver is available they would have to pass on it and my son would have to wait some more time. The longer the wait the more risky the surgery becomes. If I catch a cold I would give it to Callum… well you see the problem.

His medication should reduce post transplant after six months. For that six months however he will basically be living at home in isolation. After that? He will be still immunocompromised, but to a much smaller extent that will only become smaller and smaller over time. Callum will be able to go out and even join me at work. Basically he can live normally and have a normal life, with a few minor differences, six months post transplant. Until then we must be very careful not to get sick.

So for the above reason, while I am teaching and going out in the public I will be masking up, washing my hands etc, like it’s 2020. I will be fallowing these rules until we are given the okay from Callum’s medical team.

What I will require from parents and students is basically some of the rules we all got used to with Covid. Hand cleaning!

Students will not have to wear a mask, unless they have been around somebody who has a cold. I ask that at any sign of being unwell that students stay home and not come to art class. This is very important!

I ask that parents have some understanding as there maybe some last minute cancellations of classes as there may be some medical events that I need to be there for, so that I can comfort my baby.

Yes Classes are back!!!

and I am looking forward to it!

I am working on all the details. Bare with me. The goal is for Tuesday September 19 as the first day the studio is open again.

There are some major schedule changes. I will no longer be teaching on Sundays. But I do have another Teacher, Alice. She has tons of experience teaching art as well, as well as having a professional practice as an illustrator. She’s created and published a webcomic and done some work for Universal Studios. She’s extremely well rounded in terms of her skill set. So I am very happy to be working with her!

She has my upmost confidence as a teacher or I wouldn’t be leaving my Sunday classes to her.

Saturday will be completely the same, as taught by myself, Katherine.

Weekdays, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday will still be mostly the same, but for the last class at 7pm I will need to have a minimum of 4 students for me to leave the time open. I am also open to having to make some Friday times available if there is enough demand.

As usual I will continue to make updates to the website.

Hello!

Well, schools back. Art classes at Martinarts is not quite yet. Summer camp this year didn’t finish up long ago. As a result I am taking my break from September 3, to 23. (If you can call all the work I have to do to get the studio ready, a break. Camp got crazy)

While there is no class going on until the 24th, registration can start now.

Updating this website will be on going over the next couple of days. If there’s missing info or something is unclear, bare with me. Class levels will become more clear in the next week and I will update those. I think most will stay the same from last year.

There will be still an online option for Mondays. Those times are still being worked out with those that requested them.

The schedule has changed a bit from last year. Last year I added 15 minutes between each class. I found that was more time then was required and made my day a lot longer. So I have shorted that space to 5 minutes in most cases. Saturday has the biggest change in the timetable. I gave myself a lunch break. But I hope it doesn’t make things too difficult for returning students looking for the same times.

To see the class times, the first place it has been updated and can be found is on the Calendar page from September the 24 on-wards. The schedule page will be updated tonight, or September 8.

While during Art Camp I didn’t require Masks, during lessons I will once again. The difference is I had no half days and could treat the students that came as a social bubble. Seeing so many more students in a day, and hearing the recommendations that students should still be masked in schools has helped informed my decision.

Hope to see everyone soon!!!

Hello,

Another school year comes to an end. Classes at MartinArts are going on hiatus to make way for my Summer camp program. I will have one class for adults and mature students either Wednesday or Thursday at 4:30.

Sadly I wont be running the Out and About camp program this year. I miss taking the kids out to draw and paint at fun locations but it seems to me it’s better to avoid public transit. Maybe next year I will only do Out and About.

In the Studio might not be so much in the studio. Last year I was able to do most of the camp outside and the students really enjoyed it. This was possible because I set up a tarp around trees at the near by park and it kept us shaded. I brought out desks and chairs and it was like having the studio outside.

This was made possible because certain by-laws were paused during covid. I am not sure if it’s possible to do this again. But once I speak to someone with the city I will know if I can do it again this year.

In any case some activities will be done outside when we can.

I don’t think masks will be required for camp as the group is small and contained. But they will be required in the buildings common areas.

Classes will be back Mid September. Check the Calendar for the dates. As always I create the schedule in large part by request. You can’t start letting me know class times you might be interested in late August.

One more thing I will likely continue to have Online Monday classes, otherwise I think all other classes will go back to person in the fall.

I am always looking for feedback. If anyone has any thoughts or concerns please reach out to let me know.

Have a Great summer.

If I don’t see you at camp, see you again in the fall.

-Katherine

Despite things going very quiet on this website, online art classes an art camp have continued on.

I had not been keeping this site up to date.

I had reached capacity with how many students I was comfortable with online. So updating didn’t seem necessary. However I know many have been waiting to see what the updates would be for the fall 2021.

I have been on a much needed break for September.

Having students again in person for camp was fantastic! I had limited the number of households in abundance of caution so spaces filled rather quickly.

After being a face, sitting in front of a computers screen for so long and then two crazy in person and fun months of art camp, I needed a break.

It has not been as much of relaxing break as I had hoped due to some personal events that have come up.

Among them, I am moving. The location of MartinArts is not changing, I am just moving homes.

Also there are some family issues of concern, that I will not go into, that have come up recently and taken a fair bit of my attention. Both these things have slowed me down from getting back to everyone and updating this site, changing policy, cleaning the studio, etc.

But not to worry, Art classes will be back for October 4. In person classes will be available as well I am keeping online as an on going option.

More updates will continue to the site as I set up the schedule and add other important information.

I have added a new section to the Question and Answer page. https://www.martinartsclass.com/frequently-ask-questions/

A start of a schedule is now up, but it’s very much flexible at this point.

I am so looking forward to being back!

Hope to see everyone soon!

Katherine.

It’s dispointing that we have a second wave. Even if it was something that was foreseen by experts . As of now lessons like mine, have been made exempt from the recent shut down as long as social distancing is maintained.

I may be allowed to host 10 students at once according to the rules. However, I have asked myself what is the responsible thing to do? Is it responsible to be open when health officials ask us to avoid going out? The messages between what is and allowed and is suggested don’t line up. So these are decisions each business has to contend with in their own way.

I don’t believe at this time it is best to open up the studio , for now. So sadly for the present there won’t be group classes in the studio.

While rearranging the studio I found I could fit 6, seated 2 meters apart if I used every inch of space. This is something to consider for the future as hopefully the number of Covid cases fall again in Toronto.

I know many parents and students are on the same page as me and are keeping their children home.

As the curve flattens again, it is a decision I will certainly revisit. I very much want to open the studio again!

For those who are disappointed and aren’t understanding what they may see as an over abundance of caution, I would like to explain my perspective.

I have a number of family members that are considered vulnerable with other health conditions. I am not seeing them at this time or since March for their safety. Both my parents, independently of each other caught Covid19 this winter. One was much more seriously ill and there may be long term complications yet to come. The other despite their health issues recovered easily. But it could have gone the other way.

I am young and healthy enough that I have little concern for myself. I am worried about our larger community and those who have already existing health conditions and the elderly.

Back in 2009 during a much less serious outbreak of swine flu, 3 of my students ended up hospitalized. This has stayed with me ever since. I believe one of them gave me the illness, and I in turn passed it on to, two others, that I know of. We didn’t know better then.

I cannot live with that on my conscious again, knowing that someones family member like a grandparents caught covid19 because a student came to my art studio and now that love one is in hospital.

I am thinking that it would be safer to slowly go ahead with the hybrid model, I know so far those interested in it are limited in number, also making me feel that this is a compromise that can be done with lower risk to everyone.

That is why I am only doing online and the hybrid model. (Students can come in every few weeks by themselves during their online class to get some hands on learning. I have set up the studio to accommodate this)

For those who have paid for classes before the shut down, and have unused classes, I will give you credit for those paid classes to be used when I find it safe to open the studio, and you feel comfortable with doing in person classes again.

If you are looking for a refund, I will ask that you first let the student try an online class to see if they might like it, before I issue a refund. I know that some are apprehensive and have bad experiences with e-learning. Generally the feed back from students has been that my online art classes are different from their other experiences with online education. My online Art classes have been well received even for those who thought it wouldn’t be good for them, so I would like, at least for students to give it a try before quitting and making assumptions.

If you are looking for times to join an online class, contact me. There are still times available! I am teaching from Tuesdays through Sunday.

I would like to thank a million times over the parents who encouraged me to take my classes online during the start of the pandemic. Also to thank those parents and students who stuck with me online all these months and are signing up for more! I am grateful every day to everyone of you.

Stay well everyone!

-Katherine

Dear Parents and Students,
I hope all is well during these challenging times.
Since March 2020, I have been offering online art classes. Like many others, I have found new challenges and stresses with the new times, but have managed to adapt.
I will be taking a break from all forms of teaching during September 2020. Two weeks will just be a personal break to step away from the computer; The other two weeks will be spent rearranging the studio, administrative work, scheduling, monitoring the restarting of the public-school system, and looking at different ways to make in person art classes safe for everyone.

Based on the fact that we are in stage three of the provincial pandemic reopening plan, the goal is to resume in person art classes in October. This may or may not go to plan depending on the success of public-school reopening.

Online will be available in all scenarios.

When classes do resume, Both Saturday and Sundays will be back on the schedule.

I would like to present three different options for doing art class moving forward:

1. Online classes: As I have gotten used to the format, I have found that most students can adapt well with classes no bigger than 6 students, and even smaller for those who need more individualized lesson planning and attention. I know many parents and students are weary about resuming in person activities. Frankly, I share this concern and I hope that many will pick this option or option 3. I will provide a list of supplies and where to order them to do classes from home.

2. Back in the studio: Fair warning that studio classes will not look exactly as before, and will include the following changes:
Art Supplies: and I will now require students to provide their own supplies. Of exception to this new rule will specialized, lesser used items, materials, etc. The reason for requiring students to provide their own supplies is because of the sanitization nightmare that would be
involved in sanitizing every pencil, marker, paint brush, container, etc. To make sanitization more digestible, I will be focusing on sanitizing desks and common areas between class groups, and specialized lesser used supplies when applicable. I will be providing a list of what supplies to order, and where to order them.
Class Size: There may be smaller class sizes when they resume, of which I am still determining at this time. I will provide further updates after I have re-arranging the studio environment.
Classroom Environment: At the bare minimum, the windows in the studio will be left open at all times, so please dress appropriately for the weather. Furthermore, desks will be organized and spread out to ensure minimal social distancing guidelines of 6 feet, or even further apart if possible. Students of different ages from the same household will be asked to come to class together, and sit closer, as well as any students who are safely maintaining a social circle with each other. I will ask that everyone wear a mask.

3. Studio/Online Hybrid model: This option is harder to explain. While Online can work, there are times where some hands-on help is really missing. With this consideration in mind, I would like to offer this option. In a regularly scheduled online class, one student or one
household could come in during that class time for some for the in person help. The following class they would do online from home while another class mate comes in for that in person time. It rotates each week giving each student the chance to benefit from in-studio instruction.

In-Studio choice Considerations: I know many prefer and value in-person over online classes. I had my doubts too, but have observed since April that many students have adapted well to online, and continue to grow and improve in the art skills, sometimes in surprising ways. I too have
adapted to an online format, creating lesson plans that take advantage of the online format and teach certain skills normally not possible in person. I do however, recognize that all students have learning differences, where an online format simply does not work as a method of learning and growth for everyone. With that being said, I am hoping while parents and students will have their preferences, that only those students who find online lessons ineffective to choose the in-studio option. I feel the Hybrid option is a great alternative.
Scheduling considerations: I am thinking to break things up and alternate between online and in-studio so students don’t bump into each other in the halls.

As I may have to lower class sizes, I am hoping high school students or anyone with a different kind of schedule will be open to doing
class outside of the usual after school or weekend times. That would help me out a lot. Let me know if a student is able to have a class on weekdays before 3:00pm.

I wont’ be getting back to anyone right away but I am open to any clarification, unanswered questions. Do send me your scheduling request and options. I am also open to any additional feedback or suggestion if you have any.

Thanks so much, and I am looking forward to the fall and getting back to teaching art again.
Warmly,
Katherine Martin,

Hello,

Overdue for an update over here.

These are uncertain times even for those leaders making the decisions about slowly ending the lock down.

My personal guess is public school wont be back until September though as of today the minister of Education didn’t rule out returning by June. ( I have decided to fallow the lead of schools as to whether to open or close.)

I am not even sure where art lessons such as myself fit into the stages re-opening and what kind of social distancing measures will be required of me.

I can imagine some common sense changes that I will have to make. Such as each student will have to have their own personal art supplies. Everything from paint brushes to pencils. The waiting room can’t be used as such , only a place for quick drop offs of younger students. I will need about 15 minutes between class times to wipe down desks with disinfectant and also to prevent crowding as students and parents both leave and arrive. Desk and chairs will have to be spread apart at a 2 meter distance. I may have to shrink class sizes. And of course as we were doing before the lock down washing hands before and after class, including myself. Face masks may be a wise requirement.

The truth is just because I can open, doesn’t mean that parents and students will feel the confidence to risk return until there is a vaccine or treatment. And I can’t blame anyone for that. What can I do in the mean time? I will come back to this.

Summer camp?

I don’t even know if this is possible and if it is what kind of form it would be allowed to take, or should take.

I am not ruling it out yet. I imagine that it would be indoors. Maybe some time to play in the local park? or not. Kids do need to move around and get fresh air. Smaller group size? Maybe trips to open outdoor areas could be possible if we arranged for a ride? I would get rides from my husband to and from the studio to further limit the risk, rather then public transit as I used to.

But I don’t know about summer camp, but I do hope. We are living this thing week to week.

What has been going on now , currently a small number of my students are doing online art lessons. It’s a new format for me and I am getting the feel for it. It has some major limitations, but it also has some interesting advantages that I am enjoying taking advantage of. I can see myself integrating some new formats even after things have gotten back to normal.

I don’t want to turn this post into a longer essay then it is, but if anyone is interested I can talk your ear off about what I am finding about teaching online classes. Feel free to contact me about the pros and and cons.

Online, for most students can be effective but different. But I don’t want to have online classes larger then 5 students. Some classes are one-on-one and need to stay that way. Students right now need more attention, not less. Many have been left on there own with little to no direction in their education in the last few months and I don’t get the feeling that’s working so well for kids.

About when to return to the taking art classes? It might also be a question of, how?

It is my hope that for those who may not wish to return to the physical studio will sign up for online classes. That the majority of students would be online. That in person classes would be reserved for those students who do not thrive at all outside of being in a room with a teacher. I am talking about a NEED not a want. I want everybody able to be back in the studio. A few individuals need it.

One idea that I have is doing a rotation. Say for every 3 classes taken online the forth could be in studio. That in person classes could even be limited to those who attend the same school.

These are all just ideas. It’s hard to make plans. If you have any ideas thoughts or feed back please contact me!

But I do hope students can return in one way or another by the fall or before. Frankly the survival of my art school wont be possible if more students don’t return. Which I know is a similar situation that many other business face, which may just be the fact of these new times.

Sincerely

-Katherine

At this time to help delay the spread of the Covid19 virus into our community and following the in steps of the public schools in Ontario, I am cancelling classes until April 5.
As this is an evolving and fluid situation. Therefore the suspension of classes may have to be extended beyond April 5. I will take the lead from recommended public health officials and continue to fallow the situation closely.
I will do my best to keep all parents and students up to date with any further changes.
Stay well and stay in touch.

A special message to my students:
You all have homework. Make some Art! You have the free time.
If anyone is looking for specific homework assignments text or call!
