What a Week!


We had a crazy busy week around here. Madeline started swim class two nights a week, and she loves it. She can swim for as long as she can hold her breath. She still hasn't mastered breathing and swimming at the same time, though.  

Tuesday, we attended Madeline's open house at her elementary school.  Here she is standing next to her accelerated reader board.  She has earned three patches so far this year.  Since she can't read by herself, Kent and I have to go to her school between 2:30 and 3:00 to read and test her in the school's library. It took 70 books and 70 tests to get those patches! 

On Thursday, my partner teacher found this stray puppy on my school's campus.  It's fairly common for dogs to run around the neighborhood where I work, but this one happened to be adorable and super sweet.  We hid her in our classrooms for the day, and I seriously considered taking her home.  Then I remembered how much work, poop, and pee are involved in a pet and came to my senses.

On Thursday evening, I had my own open house where I work.  Since I put in a twelve hour day, Kent was very nice and brought the girls to see me.  They loved playing with the puppy and seeing where I work.


Here are a few of my students, the sweeter ones.
