Parent Workshop
I am excited about my second opportunity this year to give a parent workshop, this time at a different school. I will be teaming with another teacher & she will be translating in Spanish to the parents. I completed a PowerPoint presentation around fostering a love of literature in the home & I also created the flyer and exit slip so that Ivan tell how we did with the presentations and anything else I can further answer. I better get those run off! The sign up slips are coming in as we speak to get a feel for how any will be in attendance.

Blogging as a "break"
I really should be typing more for my National Board Papers...but I am having writer's block! I know that I have not been keeping up with this, because...well life has gotten in the way. Let's see, someone has hacked into my bank accounts and I had to change EVERYTHING..accounts, direct deposits, bill pay...you flippin name it! That was a pain and took up quite a few days to get everything correct...and I am still waiting for checks and such! That ws two weeks ago and now my hubby just said someone got into his online account stuff too! Kinda crazy b/c we have everything separate!
...and kiddos birthday party organizing...soccer, baseball, karate, girl scouts, boy scouts...holy crap! And to think I am working full time and trying to crank out papers for National Board...am I stupid or what!
Writing just isn't flowing...But, I did do a preant workshop at Lafy site and it went well...almost 40 parents...packet house! I was nervous, but the PALMS translator made me feel great...so did the parents!
Today at Whittier...I had a parent sign up to check out books! Someone read my article:) YEAH! Lots of good stuff going on there! I loved reading jurgen's interview and telling him I read all about him and his work! Worked with Bishop this week...really like it when her class comes b/c I feel like I am adding value as we discuss what they are working on and I can review in library. As oppose to a dump my kids off and I will show up 5 min. late to pick them up b/c they are a "rough" group! URGH!
Reading about elimination of librarians this week was not such happy news either! Always comes around this time of year. Even thouhght there is not a thing I can do about it...you would think I would be use to it. Guess it is b/c I think the district has gotten rid of most of the FAT in the budget already...so, where the heck can they cut?
Really...it sure is terrible.
