Today has been a crazy day! Wednesdays are early dismissal days so teachers can participate in Professional Learning Committees. I have been meeting with my science core and doing some great work. I'm learning lots of different resources that work in rural Alaskan schools. I'm thinking about observing the other science teachers' classrooms next week. Most freshman take Physical Science with a male teacher. Sophomores usually take Biology/Basic Biology. Juniors and Seniors are with me in Chemistry/Basic Chemistry or Physics. I have one class of freshman because there are 98 freshies this year! (I wonder if I get to teach Biology next year? That would be awesome!)
At the end of my meeting, I found out that my family is dog sitting a dog overnight. Mable is a beautiful dog with ice blue eyes. One night! That's all! I am not picking up any more poo.
Then, the AC had a bunch of items half priced! I finally got some beef on sale! I was so happy. My favorite hotdogs were on sale and some stuffing mixes. My large box of instant oatmeal was in stock so I used my raincheck to get it at $16.49 per box. It normally runs at $24 per box and its about $16-$17 on Amazon. I will accept the 49 cent cost for convenience.
Then, I came home to the girls and all their girl pals. We quickly fed everyone and got everyone home safely. Then I focused on Halloween costumes. (sorry no pics yet!)
Emily is going to be Medusa. She is such a pretty girl but she wants to do it! We have a Roman dress (she calls it something in Latin), some rubber snakes and bobbie pins. Unfortunately, Em's dress had only 1 strap. She needed another strap to wear it to school. I was able to make another strap and take in the top a bit to give her some modesty.
Abigale is going to be Dr. Who. Another large project for me to undertake. I will be painting a box to look like a Tardis. Then I have to strap it to her back with Abi still inside the box. She will have the ability to open the door and show off her sonic screwdriver. I cheated on costume and bought her a Dr. Who shirt with a bow tie printed on it.
Georgia is going to be pink cotton candy! I have the cotton and the dye. I just need to make something to glue the cotton onto so Georgia can wear this at school and over her coat during trick or treating. Yes, we are going trick or treating! I can't wait to show pics of it!
Its almost 9 and I still have lots of work to finish. I left my cell phone by accident at school along with grading stack. I have no idea what I was thinking?
