Jean in Newcastle Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I might have burned a bridge with the community activist. I just pointed out some hypocrisy in her methods in an email. I was polite but to the point. I'm becoming one of those old women who doesn't suffer fools gladly or even unhappily. I signed my name. This may have made me a target. Also I'm still a member of her group but I might find myself booted out on my rear - which I might not mind at this point. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 8 1/2 days of school left here. Repeating it like a mantra. Us, too. I was going to end on the 26th. Then I set up our evaluation for the afternoon of the 19th. There is no way either one of us is going to want to do ANY schoolwork after that. So the 19th it is. Which really means the 18tth. And functionally means this is our last week. Today he had his first meeting with my trainer at the JCC so he can use the equipment. After she met him, she said I could go work out - I didn't have to stay with them the whole time. I was like, really? Woot! They got along well. I wish we had done this last fall so we would have had something to do all winter. Oh, well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Speaking of bears, there are real live black bears being sighted in our neighborhood. So now there are arguments going on between neighbors who like to feed the birds and those who say that it brings the bears down into human habitat. Edited because I cannot spell worth beans today.

Slache Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I just realizes I have no idea how to teach. I think. I'm confused. Here's what I do, tell me if it's good. We're using a workbook (Beginning Geography, Miquon etc.). I print the workbooks and put them in folders. We sit down for school, I pull one of each out and he does them. If he has a good reason for not wanting to do one it goes back and he can do it the next day. When the book is finished it gets marked in my log thingy. Is that good? The books and readers just get rotated, but are also marked in my log thingy when completed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When books to read start taking longer you can also mark down in your log the part of the book you covered each day. If you need a "written plan in advance" set up all of your items on a shelf so you can see the spines and tell what they are, then take a picture and print it out. Voila! There's your plan for the year! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I had an artichoke for lunch and am now dealing with the gaseous aftereffect. I have taken full advantage of this feeble excuse to assign DH to drive DD12 to Aikido this evening. Besides, I have to cook supper! We are having hot dogs and tater tots. :D In talking with DD12 earlier I found out the reason why she kept bringing me the heart of her artichokes after chowing down on the leaves is that she doesn't care for the heart -- my favorite part! I also suffer far fewer pangs if I eat only the heart of the artichoke and not all of the leaves, so in the future DD12 and I will simply share one artichoke, each getting the part we prefer. Completely unrelated: I really like my deck brush. I'm back to scrubbing grout without having to get on my knees. DH, though, is disappointed I'm never using the power grout brush he build for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
