New School Year

We started the new school year today and things are going great (except for the backed up septic system). I have a good group of kids who I look forward to teaching this year. Today we are learning a lot of procedures that will help us as we progress throughout the year. Little do they know what is in store for them.

So, I haven't posted for quite some time, but I have some frustrations to vent so here goes. Well, just one really. My computer hard drive is fried an all my files are gone. I feel like a first year teacher again. School is less than a month away and I have to recreate 5years worth of files. Let this be a lesson to the rest of you...back up your files. Well, I have some work to do.

The students have all caught the FARKLE bug and have been mentally calculating probabilty to achieve the highest score possible. Currently I have the Highest Score 14,800, Sorry Louis.

The students are making a trip to the Sheriff's office tomorrow for their ACE graduation. It should be a good time, a break from the norm.

We are also continuing to plan our field trip to Camp Phillip. It looks like we will be doing canoeing, archery, high ropes course, and a night hike. It should be a great experience for each of the students.

We are having another girl.

On an unrelated topic, March Madness starts this week. The students are busy filling out brackets to see who will be the champion of the Madness.

Tonight is also the Fellowship Dinner...students will be servers and coat checkers. All they have to remember is Ranch, French, Italian.

The Science Fair is also coming up this Friday. After three months to prepare, I have a feeling that half of the students are getting started on it this week. We'll have to see if the procrastination will pay off.

Today is the big day. Sarah and I get to find out what we are having (boy or girl). The students will be weighing in later in the day as to what they think we are having. I just pray that God would bless us with a happy and healthy baby.

Basketball Tournament

Well the boys pulled out a nail-bitter (20 traveling violations in the 4th quarter alone) to win the 3rd place game, and after a frustrating first round loss, the girls dominated their way to the consolation championship. Way to go Patriots.
