Get on the WORDLE bandwagon

If nothing else but to have a little fun try out WORDLE.

We are SO like our students

This weekend is going by a little more uneventful, thank goodness. This week has been full to say the least. Upon first meeting Sara Kadjer, it was nice to hear that not only does she teach at VT and write technology books, but she also is still active in the regular classroom. This adds so much credibilty to what she has to say in my eyes because she is actually using her information in the classroom not in some idealistic world somewhere. To give her credit, she did warn us beforehand that she was going to bombard us with websites and technology "wonders" and it was up to us to take in as much as possible and leave what we couldn't comprehend at the moment. Thank you, Sara, for being realistic with teachers as well!!

Hearts and Valentines??

This weekend my youngest, who is now a high school junior, decided he would go on the church ski trip for the first time. All was going well until we received a phone call on Valentine's Day afternoon with word that he had fallen and hit his head. Cleared by the ski patrol, the nurse on the trip was making sure he was okay and kept checking on him every 15 minutes or so. So mom and dad breathed a sigh of relief to know that his head was in working order but then within 30 minutes of each other he and the other two guys sharing a room had all come down with a bug with not real pretty consequences. My heart goes out to him and the other two boys. What is worse for a boy than not being able to ski or snowboard AND being sick AND away from home!? When I checked just a little while ago, they were doing better and had been able to drink something. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is only a 24 hour bug and they will all feel better tomorrow to travel back home. ( and that the bug doesn't come home with him)
