April 30, 2013


This morning the librarian sent out an email informing the school that she was working on the new book order for the library so if anyone had any suggestions for books they wanted to see in the library, they should let her know. I couldn't resist sending the suggestion of 50 Shades Of Gray, saying I hadn't read it but I assumed it was a good educational book on the various shades of gray, and all the kids could probably use a little more help in identifying their grays. I saw her later in the hall and she said she started laughing out loud when she read my email.

There were two MAP tests today, which were uneventful, and then a lot of regular lab stuff mixed in between tests. I also helped a couple fifth graders with graphs in Excel for their science fair projects and I scanned one of the para's car registrations so he could email it to his dad. And learned things about wasp traps with one of the kindergarten teachers.

I think it was yesterday during the third grade MAP test when one of the kids got a huge passage about different types of telescopes. She proceeded to take the next five minutes learning all about telescopes, pretty much forgetting that she was taking a test because she was more interested in learning new things. She called the teacher over to tell her about radio telescopes and the teacher reminded her that she was supposed to be answering a question about the passage. Later on the kid next to her raised his hand and asked me what it meant when a sentence had a smile in it. I looked at the question and just said “Simile?” He just said “Ohhh...”

Tonight I made spaghetti for dinner, which tasted just like it does every time I make spaghetti, and then didn't do a lot. It was a pretty typical night. YouTube videos, internet randomness, and a little progress on my DVR. I am almost up to Doctor Who from Saturday. I also did a test run for the potholders I want to make. I think they will come out looking pretty good. Fingers crossed anyway. At least if they don't, I won't have to see them again because I will be giving them away.

Now I am going to record my day and then maybe go to bed. Or read a little. Or none of the above.
