Does anyone know when Orenco is going to notifying parents about upcoming classroom assignments?

So I am totally new here. My husband’s coworker gave us some established starter last week. It is in my fridge. I read through the info posted on this sub but I am kinda confused. Can someone explain it to me like I am 5 or point in the direction of a source that can. Am I supposed to feed it regularly or just prior to when I want to use it? Since it is already established I am supposed to thinking about hydration? How are we measuring hydration? Or from this point do I just need to start looking at sourdough bread recipes to understand what I am doing? Sorry I was not planning on starting this project so soon. But now I have this starter have done no reading and have no idea where to start.

So I am genuinely happy. We have been in this neighborhood for years but now that my oldest started then finished kindergarten and made friends in the neighborhood who were in his class. We have like 5 houses in a circle that all have kids in the same age group and they have been running wild together these last few weeks. It has been great! However it has necessitated me not looking like hose troll all day because I need to parent publicly if you will (outside of what was once well established “business hours”). And I now need to keep my house even more tidy because I am worried about the judgement of the kids who are coming to the door and popping inside without warning. It is amazing how strange it feels to have a 6 year old evaluating your toy situation😂. Again this is not a vent or a rant just a realization and acceptance of my new reality mixed with pure joy my kids are getting a little taste of the freedom and independence I had at that age. It’s pretty cool. Also I need some more comfy clothes that I don’t look like a homeless person in.

So with summer just upon us in my neck of the woods. I am thinking about little ways to keep some routine around physical and educational growth. We do swimming once a week and I have a plan for low pressure learning to prevent too much summer slide. I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for short(ish) family friendly yoga or stretching programs we can all participate in before walking the dog in the morning. YouTube, Netflix, Amazon etc…For young kids and a mom who needs to get herself back into a good routine. Nothing crazy just getting the body moving and limbering up. Thanks so much.

So our dentist is no longer accepting our insurance. After a nasty GI bug we apparently need an emergency dentist visit. I think a loose tooth and a lot of puke made for an abscess. On call doctors said we are fine waiting until the morning for an appointment. Tusk and Tooth vs. Gentle Dental does anyone have any input? Majority review for both are good but the negative ones give me pause. Any anecdotal input would be greatly appreciated.
