This past weekend we bought 100 pounds shrimp. We split it with Randy's brother and wife, so we actually only had 50 pounds to deal with. They are huge shrimp, so it was definitely worth the effort. I grilled some on Monday. It is great to live in a state with such wonderful food. I love shrimp fixed any way....
I had a workshop Monday on using promethean boards in the classroom. Those boards are really great. A promethean board might also be called a white board, a smart board, or an active board. It is just another teaching tool. I would like to call myself an old fashioned teacher as far as discipline goes, but I fully accept the new technology needed to teach our video enhanced students. Our kids are not old fashioned!
Yesterday I had recital practice duty with my niece, Skylar. My sister teaches in Deweyville, and the high school is still in session this week. I agreed to take Skylar to practice. She had practice from 9 til 11 and then another one at 1. It was fun to sit and watch dancing again. I did it for 15 years with Sarah. Many of the 3rd graders there said,"Mrs. Brooks, I didn't know Skylar was your granddaughter."
Today, I have another workshop(grouping in reading). It is only 4 hours, but is in Lake Charles. It was not a have to like on Monday. Another teacher said,"I'll go if you will go." We are getting paid, but I am questioning my eagerness in this.
The rest of the week and summer is mine on my time. I do want to get my things moved into my new classroom, then not darken the doors at that school for a month. I am ready to feed birds and squirrels, water flowers, and I have not been to Hobby Lobby in months!
Shrimp...another reason to have a generator ready during storm season.
