Maymester

Today was an eye opener.  Today was summer school orientation.  This means that Maymester is over.  Maymester was the time when I was going to catch up on old project and start new projects.  So far, one sort of large project has been crossed off, one medium project is crossed off, and I have added one additional project.  I am a bit sad to see Maymester ending, but I am excited to see my new students tomorrow.  It is always nice to start a new semester with new tools, new relationships, and new fresh outlooks.

On the home front, LM is once again suffering (?) from a massive double ear infection that has moved into both of his eyes.  I write the ? because this kid has to have a crazy high tolerance for pain.  He had no fever, no tugging or pulling on ears and didn't show any discomfort at all.  The only sign we saw at home was some sneezing and coughing... you know, like a COLD!!!  Since we didn't catch it in time, we totally feel like horrible parents.  LM goes for his 15 month check up next week and at that point, we are going to push to see and ENT.  I am concerned because he is beginning to try and talk now (hilarious to see those wheels turning as he tries to form the words) and I don't want this critical developmental step to be hindered.  Big teacher thing here I know :)

On another note, I leave you with my favorite picture of my Mom and LM.

End of School and 5th grade Chorus

The kids here in GA are finishing up their school year.  Although where I grew up, we went to school until the end of June, I am still teased by memories of the end of school year joy.  I attended Elementary School until 6th grade and then it was off to a Jr. High School.  In Elementary School, we always looked forward to the 5th grade chorus.  It seems like some schools still have the tradition.  Check out this 5th grade chorus and their version of Landslide.



  If I had a chorus, I would totally make them sing this song.
And can you believe it... they sing the CURE also!!!  I so want to be in chorus!
