I found this wonderful artwork (Gail Veillette 2008) that depicts the main character in the story I read with my students today. It's a really great short story called All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury, and my students literally sat riveted in their seats for the duration of the reading. It was amazing! I had ESL students doing such deep thinking. I felt like super teacher...then I went to teach my 6th grade class and the world fell apart. Oh well, walks in the Park with Kate made it better!Thursday, September 11, 2008

What could POSSIBLY follow up Happy Virus?
Nothing, except my new school year bulliten board. It's purple. Just the way I like it!

Better Late Than Never!
I will now TRY to upload the pictures I take daily, and also work backwards through time! Keep a look out!
Here's my photo of the day:
as I was unpacking tonight (yes still...) from the move uptown, I came across this little sticky note pad that I bought in Korea. Yes, it does say Happy Virus. Several years later and I'm STILL lovin' those Koreans!

Around
Here's my brother Ben and my mom. We dropped Jonathan off at the bowling alley today in Richland. Cheap bowling and also saying hi to Ben's old childhood friend Kevin. They all have kids, go figure. I had to say goodbye to my nephew, but before I did, I made him the awesomest new CD, which featured the Bob the Builder which he breaks into song constantly! He loved it! He clapped his little hands and sang along! I love 3 year olds! Oh, and my brother for spawning him as well. Thanks Ben!
Jim is back from vacation, which means he's now packing up everything in his parents home for his big move this weekend to Baltimore. I've basically been doing most of the packing. Uhg. He OWES me! We took a break and went to Meijer to get more packing tape. But mostly so that we could sit around on the furniture, play with the balls, throw things at each other, beat each other up with foam swards, then eventually get chased out by the security guard. Awesome. Renegades!

My favorite guy
Playing with work machines on the patio with grandma
Shucking corn with Aunt Jane.
Picinic lunch down by the beach!

Jonathan- he is my favorite little person ever! I love being with my nephew, and being home for so long has let me spend so much time with him! Love it!
