Merry Christmas!

We hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas full of happiness and good cheer! Best wishes for a happy, healthy New Year!

For everything.... there is a season...

Well... another month nearly gone. A myriad of activities of one kind or another... after lots of state and local testing during the months of October and November, I began individual evaluations of students to determine whether or not they needed educational assistance while at school. So, lots of meetings, planning for lessons, keeping kids on track .... and ultimately getting ready to celebrate Christmas. We did get the tree selected and decorated...

Today, we had a snow day. A lot of schools in the area are done now until after the new year, as a result of the storm. They got an extra day tacked on to their vacation. We supposedly have two more days, Monday and Tuesday, if the snow or frigid temperatures don't take them out, too! Of course, that means we will still be in school well into June in that case!

In advance of the snow storm, I was able to bring Kate home from school for her break and we went to the grocery store to get baking supplies. So, when they did call school as anticipated, we baked cookies.. while Charlie cleared snow for the neighborhood.

Kate got the dogs a little more involved than they probably wanted to be..... :-)
