Science



75
Mandie tries hard in this area even though it is not a strength. Rather than joining in the obnoxious behavior, Mandie tries to help the first-year teacher with suggestions about how to have better classroom management. Unfortunately, Mandie continues to question things that are none of her business such as why so many students failed the class.


Social Studies



98
It is no surprise that Mandie is doing well in this class after all it is SOCIAL studies. If Mandie does anything well, it is being social. Every morning she stands in the hallway greeting everyone with a “Good Morning” and a smile. Other students have started to pick up on this and have begun to mimic her.  If she were a little less social, she might be able to get a bit of her own work done.


Math



86
Mandie knows how to play the number game. Whether getting the most copies of books with limited funds or finding ways to take the class on a field trip, she is adept and does it well. She would improve in the area of Math if she would buy into the concept of grading a bit more and not let it bother her when only one student in 26 makes the honor roll.


Language Arts






95
Mandie does well in this class. When reading aloud, it is with expression and the entire class becomes entranced listening to her, as if jumping into the story. She spends much of her time writing. Oftentimes, it is writing to students. Many journals have begun to be passed back and forth on a daily basis. Many of these students are not even in her class. While what she is doing in the area of reading and writing is good, there is still room for improvement.

Aging sucks.....or does it?

Upon first thought, watching a parent age sucks. Unnoticeable at first. A bit of a stoop, some creaking in the knees, whitening of the hair. The doctor’s visits begin, as do the pills One for high blood pressure, another to thin the blood, and a handful of vitamins to top it off. The signs are there, but it is easier to see him as he has always been. My father, a pillar of strength. Until my pillar was knocked off-kilter. A simple surgery and the mortality of my father looked me square in the eye when the drugs took hold of his brain. Amidst his fidgeting and confusion, I realized…AGING SUCKS! And then….enlightenment dawned upon me….AGING IS BEAUTIFUL Wrinkles tell of smiles while silver hair speaks a life of memories. Knees creaky after years of kneeling in prayer, offering up a lap, and climbing up the stairs for one more kiss goodnight. Almost forty-eight years of memories nestled in my heart. Memories of my father. Taking us to church each Sunday Building and fixing ...

The Challenge of Five

Living alone is easy. Add one more person to the equation and it becomes a bit more challenging – especially when that person is a 13 year old. But in time, we figured it out. Somewhere in there, Beatrice joined us. With Thanksgiving came the joy of the five of us together for the week. And then reality set in as Tony and Sana began their trek back to New Hampshire. Our household of two was now a household of three as Sean made himself a home with us.   For the first five years of Sean’s life it was just he and I. How difficult could it be to have my 22-year-old son living with me again? A mother couldn’t ask for a better son. He is loving, kind, intelligent, and hard-working. He has grown into a fine young man who has lived on his own for the past three years. He has his own way of doing things.   I have my way of doing things. Needless to say, the two clash a bit. I tend to go with the flow and do things (supper, adventures, etc) as the mood strikes. He likes to plan eve...

I Got the Call!

I began the day a bit down in the dumps. (As is very evident from the earlier blog entry of the day.) I was missing my family. Wondering about the risk we took. Uncertain how it would all work out. My brother, Jamie, insisted that Patti and I join his family for a Braves game. He bought us $1 tickets and told us to get to Turner Field. The great thing about Atlanta Braves games on a hot Sunday afternoon is that the turn-out is not very good. We followed Jamie toward his seats on the third base line and sat in a couple of empty ones about 20 rows back. By the end of the game, I was in the first row! Apparently it was too hot for many of the fans. The Braves trounced the Dodgers, 13-1. (Newly added to my bucket list: get to as many of the major league baseball parks as possible. I have been to three this summer alone!) Upon returning ‘home’ I decided to check out the possibility of more jobs. Curiosity led me to Manchester’s website. (Manchester is about 30 minutes away from whe...
