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 ...

An Easter Lesson

I decided that this break I was going to stay home and spend the week doing things I have not done or haven't done in awhile. It all began Thursday night with Ballroom Dancing, which will continue on Monday and Thursday with lessons. Saturday, I bought a couple of new outfits. Today brought both something I hadn't done in awhile and something new. Today, I went to church which was pretty cool in itself. I went with someone I just met the day before. (I am sure that is no surprise to any of you who know me.) We made plans to meet up at church. It was different from any church I had been in before. The chairs were set up "in the round." There was no piano or organ to accompany our singing. People were in and out throughout the 90 minute service. No surprise, the place was packed. The service was your typical protestant service, minus the organ, of course. It had been awhile since my friend had been to church. Many in the congregation flocked to him at the end to gi...

The Art of Being Thankful

Yup! This entry is going to be totally cliché. After all, it is that time of year where we stop and think about what we are thankful for in our lives. So here it is. My list of thankful. 1.    One less kid home for the holidays Sean won’t be coming home for the holidays this year. He has been with me every year at Christmas since 1988. I will miss him dreadfully. However, I am so very thankful that he will be spending the holidays honoring fallen soldiers. I am thankful for the man of repute he has become. Most of all, I am thankful he is not one of the fallen. 2.   Unemployment Tony does not have a typical job down here. A few days a week, he drives a rickshaw for tips only and substitutes whenever he gets the opportunity. While we never know what we can count on for the budget, I know I can count on him to be there for the girls; to clean the house; to get the vacuuming done; and so much more. I cannot even fathom how he could enjoy working inside the...
