The only challenge of the day was getting the Video to relay from VCR to the overhead projector---and do you think I could do it??? Nope, ,, mechanically or technically challenged disability kicks in, and I have to ask the student teacher to help me get the video working---- which she did!!!!!
The big surprise of the day was running into Fireguy at school---- surprise for him too!!!!!

No Mandy, sadly, I still won't know what to do, because when I asked the student teacher what she had done, she didn't really know-- so I am still in the dark, and even if she had known, I would have forgotten it -----It is fire prevention week , so fireguy was there to give talks to the younger grades--- funny running into him in the hall!!!!

I'm just hoping she'll turn her black Just-moi, into a blue justmoi---all you have to do, just-moi, is click on that button that says, "create your own blog""---easy as pie, well, I can't make pie, easy as taking candy from a baby,,,,no, that's just nasty,,, but it really is easy, even for the technically challenged!!!!Jump on board, or dive in!!!

Sounds like a breeze of a day... I LOVE those!!! Wish they happened more often! Today was a DRAINING one but maybe due to my overtiredness!

Excited to see if there is a new link on your page soon!

Teaching Science using Bill Nye the Science Guy!!!! Providing kids with unreal expectations that being a scienctist will get you a lucrative tv contract... I fell for that one.... Now I'm almost one of the many strugling PhDs just trying to find a decent income.

I love the apple chewing, mean looking teacher you've posted.

Haaa.

Just the kind of whip-cracking nasty piece of work who'd make any school day a delightful adventure.
