Busy, busy, busy
Life has been a little crazy around here the last three weeks. I volunteered to do some things every night, assuming that I would only work my regular days. Then the people I car pool with had some family emergencies and could not get their regular substitutes, so they asked me. I have been working every day and I am TIRED. At least next year when I work full time I will have the sense enough not to book myself every night as well. It was amazing to go into the other fourth grade class and see how much work she gives them. I have always known that we don't give as much work as we could/should, but it was amazing to see the contrast. Next year my students load will be somewhere in between.
We had a delightful visit with Sue, Jesse, Peter and Quin on Sunday. They came just for fun (because we hadn't seen Jesse for a long time). We played cards for a while and then played The Ungame. I am sure most of you have heard of that from gma/gpa, but we haven't gotten it out in a while. You just ask each other questions. It was really fun. Quin and Nan didn't stay too long but everyone else stayed for the whole set of questions.

Sounds like you have been busy! We have too. I used to dread playing the ungame as a child. I think I would really like it now. Tell the Thompsons to blog!
All my classes have said that you want to give enough that they have practice, but not so much that it just becomes repetitious busy work. That might just be for math though. Hope things have calmed down by now!
