Groundsub Day

Well, I went outside and I can see my shadow here. But I'm sure not going outside again any time soon. it's too damned cold out there! Minnesota is frigid today!
 
No shadow but it's supposed to snow all weekend and it's freezing. :p

Still some snow here. If it melts in 3 days, it's the last snow of the season.
I havent had more then a sprinkling of snow yet and now its going to be spring? :confused:
 
It's too cloudy here for shadows!
In my brief time at my class I asked if anyone knew what special day it was and was told it was "leapfrog day."
groundhog..leapfrog. He knew what it meant though.

.oO(We should have a leapfrog day)
It was also crazy hair day. I gave all my stuff I bought to my EA, so if she wins I get props.

you must live close to me...and the snow is wet, not the pretty shiny/sparkley kind.

Get your ass outside and report on your shadow.
i can't.
There was snow out there when i woke up this [mid-]morning.
i have new slippers and i do not want to get them wet or soiled.
i am not used to this weather as it's not snowed here much at all this winter.... i can't risk slipping and falling on my ass.

No shadow report from this corner of the USA .... sorry. :rose:
 
Laughing here at brioche's leapfrog kid...
kids are too cute and say the funniest things sometimes...
Yesterday,... daughter....7 years old (with no front teeth because it gives a better eample of the degree of cuteness i am about to elaborate on here) .... approaches INSIDEYOURMIND and asks to borrow His scalpulator. :D hehehe :p

She meant calculator. 7 year olds are not near at all to being perfect spellers, nor do they pronuonce all of their words very well (refer to aforementioned toothless explaination)... they say things and spell things however they THINK they have heard them. Plus a 7 year old doesn't understand why some words are what they are... IE: She's 7 and not familiar with the word calculate.

This is the same daughter who at age 3 could never say 'bathing suit'.... she wasn't familiar with either of those words either.... she said it as "baby-soup".... oh and for her, parking lot was "lock and park". ;)

Actually, lock and park makes a lot of sense.
The autistic kid in our class has been coming up to me, our EA, and his parents and speaking very seriously to us about something. We have ABSOLUTELY no idea what he's saying and are poised in anticipation of one of us figuring it out. It's totally different to his normal cadence of speech and is clearly very important to him.
I am so proud of this kid. Totally non-verbal at the beginning of the year and now he's talking and communicationg. Every morning I bend down and say "Good morning b" and he says "Good morning Miss brioche" but the other day it took us 3 tries to get him to stop saying "Good Morning Mom"! His latest thing is to give
us kisses so when we bend down he'll make his lips into a kiss shape and brush it along your face.
All the reports from the small group he was in last year are totally wrong: we don't need to take the precautions they listed and he's light years beyond their predictions. One of those situations of the right fit of EA, class and teacher for him. Though I wasn't too happy when he found the pancake batter box, dumped some on the floor, shoved two fists in it, and ran across the classroom trailing batter powder from his hands, only to dump it in a spectactular fashion near the toys.

That description of how they can be so deserving of absolute admiration one minute...... and then in the next minute, being deserving of anything but.... for just that minute, until we calm ourselves into recalling what it was we had been all enthusiastic about the moment before......brings to mind for me, a quote. i try to recite this quote anytime i need to when dealing with our own children.

"God made the little children so beautiful just so that we as parents do not KILL them." --replace the word parents with teachers and BAM! ... it can work for you too. lol :rose:
