Hey, all! Well into my first week with kids--God, I love the first few days . . . everyone clean and shiny, eager (practically) and willing to work and get excited about it. This is evidentally before we have bored them to senseless adolescent behavior. Mysti, does "parenthesesseus" rhyme with "Jesus?" If so, could you write a little poem? Good luck on the load of eight . . . I say you empower them to grade themselves (Ha Ha) Ingrid--I rode a mortorcycle for the first time in my adult life (I rode one once before, when I was 14 and not scared of anything) and screamed all the way around the couple of blocks we rode. I hyperventilated at a stoplight because of the scary turn coming up, but i stayed on (My friends had to pry my hands from the ribs of the friend that was doing the driving) I've gotta go grade paper #1!
