February 15

Barefoot! Received the kindest surprise today.  Ron Schad mailed me a short note and pictures of Dad from the 90s.  Out the of the blue after 4 and a half years of being an orphan, my father's smile from his heaven, "the golf course," arrives in my mailbox.  Random acts of kindness.

Love my job.  We created John Hancock quill and ink signatures today, and discussed Common Sense.  Students continue to improve on hots, conclusions, inferences and symbolism. 

Each day I am learning more about the smart board. I sure hope I get to stay in the same room and grade level next year so I  can keep utilizing this technology.  What a gift the Foundation and the anonymous donor bestowed upon my class. 

45th birthday is in 10 days.  I hope we get a new charcoal grill as a gift!
