Charf!

12/12/2004

Well, Henson managed to pull one of my bags off of the counter while we were gone yesterday. He rummaged through it until he found a gift I had received from someone and, after opening it, was delighted to see 8 oz. of See’s Milk Chocolates. When we came home, there was Henson, all fat Read More

A Story

I have a student who is mostly-deaf, and he’s supposed to wear a hearing aide. But he never wears it. MRS. LEWIS: Why don’t you ever wear your hearing aide to school? STUDENT: What?

Yes! Drawings!

I taught my drawing unit a bit differently this semester and WOW! These are the best still life drawings I’ve seen come out of any students this age! I’ll post the link to their gallery when I have it up. But, if I do say so myself, this unit RULED! And my students worked so Read More

Things You Can’t Blog About

12/01/2004

I haven’t really been blogging lately because most of the things I want to talk about are things that aren’t really appropriate for a internet-published blog.

Van Gogh’s Minors

Claiming My Sabbath

11/15/2004

I am the biggest abuser of sabbath days that I know. I constantly use my weekends to cram as much crap into as possible. My drive to organize my homelife (cleaning, groceries, etc.) combined with Josh’s social drive consistently leaves me exhausted when the new week begins. I find that when I take a day Read More
