It's been a crazy week. It all began with a late lunch with Rosemont, and today ended with a thousand books spreading over Miss Kelly's classroom. In between there has been a sea of aches and pains, triumphs and disasters and lots of laughs.
Miss Molly is bursting at the seams - literally. She's about ready to evict Lucky - that's Luke's nickname, and her mood swings could tie with my menopausal dementia. Mrs. St. Louis is holding a very stable court and Miss Kelly is too busy with the book fair to notice who's in charge.
The kids have been super, however, and although they have racked up a lot of blue faces, they have been more interesting this week in their approach to life. We've been testing our skills with music, and I have to admit, they are doing a great job. We have worked in some instruments with one of our songs, and we practiced this for an hour today, and the kids didn't lose interest once.
We combined classes today and worked on several things - handwriting, story writing, drawing and some math and logic pages. The kids were first rate. I took my pile of sentences and drawings over to Miss Kelly, and we were amazed by how well they had done. Miss Faith's sentence was clever. Faith farms.
I'm always glad when we get the party week over because we can focus in on something besides practices.
The book fair is a really neat thing. We are so pleased with the books. Miss Kelly was in awe of how it was supposed to look and how it was supposed to be put together and she's done a magnificent job. The profits will be a big help to us.
Miss Stacey is still attacking us. Please say a prayer for her.
We are going to the Loli Pop Concert tomorrow and then we're off to a picnic someplace. Then it's practice practice practice.
Now back to Rosemont. She is my adorable raccoon who has lunch with me occasionally. She has two darling babies and lives in my neighbor's tree. Rose comes over to eat cat food off my front porch, and we have an understanding - She eats and I chat. It's such a neat thing to sit four feet from a raccoon and listen to them chomp away on a bowl of kitty kibble. She likes tuna, hamburger and fresh salmon. Next week I intend to intro her to home made cookies - she can take some home to the cubs.
Miss Molly is having a yard sale on Saturday. She's out in Newburgh, so if you need directions, just ask her.
We have two new little girls who are just darling.
