My father is 83 today and you'd better NOT forget it :) An Irish man born on the Day!!
I called and said we would have a nice birthday dinner on Saturday when things weren't so crazy but he begged to differ so we are having - actually HE is having an open house tonight so I have already warned the students... if I am looking a little green tomorrrow they'll know what happened :) Lol
Yesterday was CRAZY...after a 2pm dismissal and some parent meetings (Open House and Art Show) my son had track practice, soccer practice and a band concert at the high school- my husband (the soccer coach) and I managed the dueling car rides and we were finally all home by 8pm. When is this Spring Break?
No Homework this week
Reminders
hoodie orders
Purdy's Easter orders
Gr8 registration forms
Term 2 reports and reflections
General Day
Same whirlwind of Kindies looking for the leprachauns- they were so concerned that the principal was missing (she was tied up in our school library!) and was found by 9:30am :) Pesky leprachauns- glad that's over for another year.
French J'ai Faim- graphic comic story practicing food vocabulary and the verb avoir
Band
Math coordinating points - a review of plotting points and subtracting integers to create pictures on a graph- good review some did very well and mannged two gid pictures- others fizzled and were just happy to get the first one done- they are tired!!
DEAR good job. I let the art and grid work pass for today. Get back into the reading mode properly once eveyone is rested up.
Science Review Rocks and Minerals using an Eyewitness DVD (40 minutes) nice way to review the Term 2 content- the 'special effects' in it were very cheesy but it still is a good curricular fit!!
Art/ New Video game groups
Last chance for the team posters as I have three groups finished, two groups wanting to 'shoot' a commercoial and two who are floundering. It was organized chaos but most were engaged in something whether it was project work or shoes or spring elf art (don't ask!) and we survived the last 40 minutes together.
3pm dismissal
Have a nice evening- I need to go buy some birthday cards.
We have a Brazilian dance and acrobatic performance (Ache Brasil) tomorrow afternoon- join us if you can :)

Hi Selene,
ReplyDeleteI called Dad from out here to with him a Happy Birthday and got an earful about not being there. lol. Was laughing reading your comments about him changing plans for everyone and forcing your hand to visit him on the day. :D Glad you did it for him.
Told him I'd make it up to him in June when he's here with Mum. Now I have to come up with a plan to do just that. Wish me luck.
Love reading your blog. It's amazing to me how much you have to get through in a day, then to add your crazy life with Bob and Liam on top of that. Insane if you ask me. :D
Enjoy Spring Break. Hope you get some rest during the week. :D
Love ya,
Diane.
That was supposed to be "wish him a Happy Birthday". Oops. Typical ... typing too fast and not proof reading my post. Lesson learned. :D
