Devastation, global warming, the election
Sitting here late at night watching CNN and seeing the devastation that the east coast suffered, particularly our home state of Jersey and neighboring NY. Our power was restored this morning. I had friends from the south asking me how things were up here, and I didn’t know because I hadn’t seen anything on tv. Seeing it now is humbling. I kept teaching through the powerless hours, but I’m thinking we need to completely stop academics for now and find out where we can help. More to follow on that..
Well, election day is approaching. Hope you get out there and cast your vote!
Garage doors and spring fever
Today was one of those days infused with interruptions in the school schedule. We had new garage doors put on the house so we had workers with us. Add to that having to drag everything out of the garage prior to their arrival. Then, cleaning, etc.
It was good though because the kids were given responsibilities in helping out and were encouraged not to complain and be thankful! We were still able to get some of our core subjects in. Truthfully, I’ve got spring fever, and they do too. I need to sit down tonight and see how to make what we’re studying a little more exciting. Maybe a field trip is needed soon. Going for coffee..
