Thursday

Well, I made it almost through the week. I enjoyed today of teaching because I had a really good lesson AND I didn't even teach!! I talked with one of the biology teachers about having her students come and present their biome posters to my kids today. They made some great posters with tons of pictures and had done a lot of research; I figured they would be good a being brief and different than me. It went pretty well, I have to admit. Otherwise, I have had two really late nights of school. On Tuesday, our REA (union) had a meeting that went from 4:30-6:30pm. It was very tense and emotions were running high. Let's just say that our district needs a lot of prayer right now. We are hoping to pass a 15.6 mil levy in May which sounds nearly impossible and looking at pay freezes. It makes for difficult times. On Wednesday, I stayed til about 5:30pm getting help writing my IPDP - a plan for my professional development which needs to be in place in order to renew my license which happens next year. So, although it seems like just a formality, it is important.

Jeremy had a great time at the youth conference. There were some great concerts - David Crowder band and others... can't remember off the top of my head. He said the speakers were good as well. And they got a number of free things - books and such.

We are both fighting colds and hoping to get to this weekend to rest up. I have an all day event I volunteered for on Saturday, but that leaves Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday to relax. Jeremy will hopefully get a jump start on his homework that seems to consume most of his free time. In other news, we both got out to walk or run in the beautiful day! I am looking forward to a few more of those. I hope all is well with everyone. And if you have time, drop us an email or add a comment. Have a great Friday!
