Fall Break

Last day of school with 1st graders was definitely a lesson in patience. Wow! Soon it was over and here I am the next morning - all in one piece and ready to enjoy a 4 day weekend.
Haven't decided just what would be the most relaxing, enjoyable way to spend these days. Lets see . . . . . . .

1. Scrapbooking
2. Reading a new book
3. Organizing the closets (you know, if you haven't worn it or used it in the last year) send it to Goodwill.
4. Working on the flowerbeds and preparing the Towle yard for winter.
5. Cleaning the 21 windows and 10 door windows in this house (which didn't get cleaned this summer and reallllllly need it)
6 . Cleaning house - doing the extras that don't get done every week.
7. Or - maybe . . . . . just sitting, doing nothing and daydreaming.

Better yet - I know - I'll do a little bit of all of the above.



ENJOY your

Finally Did it!!!

Checked again today. I am able to put the correct name with every one of the 84 Harris Elementary First Grade students. Yea!!!!

I even do reasonably well with Nathan & Noah - the twin boys in Angle/Bryant's classes. I check each morning to see what color shirt they are wearing and then I am good to go with them for the day. When I have a moment of forgetfulness I look to see what class is surrounding the particular boy I want to call and then I can put the correct name with the correct twin. Is that cheating? No - surely not!!!
