Halloween costumes
I am indulging in creating several Halloween costumes via Yahoo avatars. Over the next several days until Oct. 30, I will put up different ones. Then I will open a voting poll on Oct. 31 to see which one wins! First up, Victorian Gothic Peg with lavender hair (pixie short of course!)
Life of a teacher
14 boxes arrived in my classroom today. For the next few months (Nov. to early March) I will be piloting not one but two different math series as part of the committee to adopt our math curriculum for next year. The boxes need to be saved, and everything returned in them. Exciting and !!! at the same time.
In other school news, I have a student teacher (she is finishing up her 6th out of 8 weeks in our classroom) and it is a wonderful experience. She is so enthusiastic and with it! I will miss her when she finishes Nov. 7.
Lastly, I have been assigned emergency driver of the pregnant K team member if anything should happen that requires her to leave school and go to the hospital between now and her maternity leave. Wow!
A busy school life, and we haven't talked about a typical day.
Today is not typical. I will be in meetings all day. I like meetings, so it's all good. But I miss those little kidlets and their energy.
Have a great Thursday!

BLT

Today, after 30 years in Girl Scouting, I am taking Basic Leader Training and Daisy Leader Training at my local service unit.
Yes! I am going to be a Daisy Girl Scout leader for 11 girls from my school (3 from my own class!) Yay!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes- D and I had a lovely evening out last night! more sooner!

a long week
feeling so thankful for Friday! thankful in general, but this was an extra long week:
Luckily, the weather has turned (finally!) cooler and Fallish (did you ever think you'd hear that come out of my mouth?)
Ready for a fun, busy weekend as we've had several relaxing ones of late.
Heading out to a local paint the pottery joint tonight and tomorrow morning we will go out to breakfast and then to a local pumpkin farm.
What are your weekend plans?
