My first faculty meeting of the year. I am knitting and using my computer so I don’t talk too much. I tend to get myself in trouble when I speak up at meetings.

Well, here it is, Sunday night.  I should be heading for bed, but instead I am up blogging and playing PackRat on Facebook.  I just gotta finish that set! Friday night we went out to dinner at Top of the Hill Grill.  They will be closing in the next few weeks for the winter, and [...]

I just got my least favorite paycheck of the year.  The one containing the letter from my superintendent, welcoming us back to the new school year.  Just a reminder of how quickly the summer is going. 26 days and counting.

Trip to the Orchestra

Properly nouned

Friday night fun

November 16th, 2007 · No Comments

I am so glad it is finally Friday. This was a very long week. My class has been kind of off the wall. We’ve had fluctuating attendance and disruptions. We are working our way slowly through the book, focusing on the story, retelling, spelling, and grammar. I am skipping several skills about comprehension, certain organizational [...]

Back to Tuesday

November 13th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Had a meeting first thing this morning. I can’t go into, because I fear confidentiality issues, but lets just say, you can be organized, you can be working hard to get what you think your child needs, but you are still delusional.
