Open House

I got home not too long ago from our second open house of the year. This is the first time we have ever had an open house during the second semester. And let me just say...it will probably be the last time. I think we had a total of maybe 40 parents show up!!

At first, I thought we were having it for those who changed classes this semester but I found out it is because of all the new Smart Boards we have and the school district wants to show them off. I guess those 40 parents were impressed!!

I also finished a really good book tonight. I don't know if anybody watched the new TV series- Women's Murder Club. Well- I'm really into all those Law and Order and CSI shows. The Women's Murder Club is actually a series of books by James Patterson. He has other series out as well. Sometimes his writing is straight to the point and he says a few words I could do without here and there- Just like on TV so I wouldn't recommend it for all ages- But overall, a good book. There were a lot of turns in the plot that I did not expect. I plan on getting more in that series so I'll let you know!

On another note- I am feeling a little better today. I am not yet running at 100% though. I probably should have stayed home one more day like Aaron wanted me to, but it's hard when you're a teacher. I think my student teacher did a good job while i was gone, though. Oh yeah- so I actually have 2 student teachers right now!! I'll have to update you on that story on another post. It's kind of long.

Have a great night!

Well- it sounds cool, but it is a lot of work! I don't get to keep them for long because they have to do other placements to be certified K-12

I'll have to check out that book. I am a big Nicholas Sparks fan, but I've read some of Patterson's books too. I'm always looking for another good book.
