Slow...

My computer is being slow.  Has been all day.  It's super annoying.


Another normal day today.  More kids said memory work.  They all turned in their spelling.  My last presenter finally presented his powerpoint.  We had fun playing 4-square at recess.  Typical Thursday-ish stuff.


Bookmobile came... along with the movie I ordered! Yay! I refrained from checking out more books, so that's good.


Our staff meeting lasted 2 and 1/2 hours.  Part of it was a teacher came to tell us about a new type of testing instead of NWEA or Iowa tests.  It seems like a good system. The tests are 30 minutes long and students take them three times a year.  The best part is the questions change to fit the level of the student, so if they get them wrong the questions get easier, and if they get them right the questions get harder.  And scores are reported right away.  We'll probably do those next year since it takes a while to figure everything out about them.


I wore my new arm-knitted scarf to school today.  It's made of hand-dyed wool, so it's a beautiful blend of purples and blues.  And not too scratchy either!  It was so fun to spend time with Mrs. E outside school.  We talked about taking another artsy class together at some point... maybe cake decorating or painting or something.
