Well I made it through my orientation at Northside middle school. It was like walking into a time warp. I saw Mr. Basham, Mrs. Martin (from Glen Cove), and a few others that I can't remember their names they just looked old and familiar. Hee Hee Everyone was very helpful and friendly. I work there again tomorrow all by myself.

Jolee: Karen Switzer that trained me was the same person I thought she was.I did her hair about 13 years ago! Still the same sweet person and what a great preceptor. Oh yea, I sent Coach Pope an email today and asked him if he could reserve the gym for us on homecoming night. What time would you like if this is possible? I did ask him that if the gym was not available could he reserve another indoor area of the school. He'll get the email tomorrow and I'm sure I will know something by tomorrow evening. As soon as I hear from him I'll give you a call.

Annette Gilliam (Nicely) I was catching up on the posts for the day and saw something about framing. My neighbor (Trooper "Captain" Richard Denney's wife, had to put that in for you Jolee :>) uses AAA trophy (on Williamson Road) all the time and she tells me that they have the most reasonable prices in town. They do really good work too.

Let me make you all laugh....

Has anyone heard the New Kids on the Block CD?! It is GREAT!!! I love it...Kenzie has it on now and is singing in the shower...if she only had her momma's moves...wait..no, I don't want her to have those...always caused trouble...ha ha

Fess up Angelo, you know you got the NKOTB cd...you don't even speak to me anymore...what the hell?

:)

Carla Boyd (McCabe) If the collage idea (which is good) gets too complicated or there isn't enough time...someone who is good on the computer could put together a CD of all these pics that are being gathered....we could even design a memorial CD case to put it in.

Angelo Tomaras NKOTB ..uh, no. Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus - yes. Brainwashed by females in the house. Now play me some Justin T. ... :)

09/22/08 10:44 PM	#349
Carla Boyd (McCabe) Wow Angelo! It takes a REAL MAN to admit that! I am impressed!

Okay...looking for a second opinion on something. Anyone else think it would be hard to take a spelling test like this...make headings for CVC, CVVC and CVCe (consonants/vowels). Then listen for teacher to call out words by saying "group 1, #1 spelling word". This is because there are 3 levels of spelling words, so you are hearing lots of words that aren't yours. You have to write(in cursive and they are still mastering it) the word under the correct heading. This is 5th grade...but I think it sounds like too much multitasking for any 5th grader. Mason is used to getting 100% on spelling tests and all of a sudden he is having trouble because he can't multi-task! Am I wrong to be upset with this format?

Carla, you lost me at the headings...

Angleo - the best men are the ones that live in a house full of women...why do you think I have so many kids? John kept trying to balance out the numbers...(oh, he has the same score as you..2 out of 3...LOL) before we got Zach...then he thought he was on a roll...NOT. he does however imitate a pretty good Jonas Brother, but I'd settle for some Timberlake.

Carla...what the hell??? That sounds ridiculous. My Nick is in 5th grade too, and he hasn't had ANYTHING like that. They had to do columns last night for long a and e sounds, but that was just homework. I think I would actually have to say something to the teacher on that one, and I NEVER do that.

Jolee...haven't bought the CD yet, but I too love NKOTB and do plan on getting it.

Angelo...glad you can admit to the Hannah Montana of it all. I think every household with a girl over the age of 4 cannot escape. My daughter already loves her, and she is only 4! My son would NEVER admit it, but he knows all her songs too.

Amy WM...you are too cute. We love you too. I may be posting the same kind of message after the wine fest on Saturday. I do LOVE to taste until I find one I realy like, then I buy a bottle, drink it, and start the process over. (-:

Ann Atchley (Stewart) Couldn't resist - I am going to see NKOTB with some girlfriends next Thurs, Oct 2 at the Verizon Center in DC. We have floor seats in the first 20 rows. It also happens to be my 9 year wedding anniversary, but I told my husband that Jordan, Donnie and Joey (who cares about the other 2) were in my life long before he was.

Kristin Fisher (Rush) Trina - are you going to the wine festival at the lake this weekend? I will be heading up there with some friends too. I will be under the Suntrust tent. Maybe we can run into each other?

09/23/08 09:57 AM	#355
Trina Schossow (Folden) Yep...we'll be at the SML wine fest. We haven't gone in years. I will come look for you at the SunTrust tent. I will be walking around with a wine bottle in my hand!! Notice I said "bottle", not glass...heehee

Carla Boyd (McCabe)

Trina...yeah, I have sent a polite email to the teacher. He also came home with two tests on loose leaf like this...
1. D
2. A etc...
She is trying to save paper, so she has them put answers on loose leaf so she can use the same test paper for the next class. So I have no way of going over the ones he misses because I can't see the questions! Keep in mind Mason is dyslexic. I have already clarified with her that I want him to write on the test paper! She is okay with that...but now he will feel singled out for doing it that way. It's going to be a long year!

Met your mom and dad today. Very kind people who are very proud of their daughter. Not to mention a very proud grandpa!! I hope your dad will improve quickly. He said he has grandbabies to watch!

Hey everybody ... I finally got around to posting some of the pictures I took at the reunion (I know it's pitiful that it took me so long)and I'm still not done yet but at least it's a start ... I think they are great (especially the ones of everybody dancing) ... I will let you guys know when I get the rest on there.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help get ready for the homecoming game ... I'm not reading this every day so call me if you need my help. 354-4447

Carla -- I know that a friend of mine who taught advanced grammar to 2nd graders did her tests that way. I don't know what the purpose is, but she even got confused as to which group and which spelling word she was on. I can ask her what is the purpose of giving a test this way. But, I agree, if the teacher gets confused, then why shouldn't the student get confused as well. I also know from working in a school system, that if one child had to have specialized treatment during a test, then that student would work on reading, etc.. during the test and then the student would take the test during break, etc.. so that the student is not singled out. I would stay on the teacher, but if you do not see much progress, then I would contact the school. I wouldn't do it in a complaining manner, I would just let them know of your concerns. :)

Laura Wolfe (Campbell) Chris A. - I was looking for you at the mud run on Saturday. I never saw you there, but as I was editing the photos, I came across a suspicious looking fella standing in the background. Could it be you?

April, I love the pics thanks for posting........

Chris A man its a dead ringer for you was Ken running in that race?

Jolee I sent you an update on your email..........

Carla......monitor closely first grading period if there are unresolved issues go to principal because you have tried with teacher first. It may be that this teacher doesn't click with your son and her approach may be too difficult. I had that problem with Maggie before and we had to get a different approach. All teachers have different approaches and if it don't work it is no use in making the student suffer. I mean its still elementary school for heaven sakes sometimes I feel like it military camp the way they act. No offense to the teachers on our site but my biggest grip is the teachers who make school so unpleasant for the kids, they learn to hate school. Happened to me and 1 brother and by the end we were just ready to be done with it, I won't let that happen to my child, that is why I am in the school all the time listening and monitoring......yes OCD but we are our best child's advocate and buddy I can be a real B----

peace out turbo out

hi everybody--i've just realized i was in for a couple hour investment in catching up with everything i've missed on the forum, so i've given it up for now--i hope everyone is well.

laura, i posted some photos on photobucket, but it looks like i'm the only one, so i hope i haven't missed the cut-off for mike photos (i only had 2 decent ones, but i wanted to give them to you).

jolee--yes, i would love to see the graduation photo--i hope you got the one i sent you from sr. trip. do you know what time the memorial will start over oct 17 weekend and where? or are plans still being solidified? i'm trying really hard to make it in.

Marion~
The plan is to tailgate, then have the memorial service inside Northside (either the gym or auditorium) around 6'ish...then, walk down to the field as a group (with our LIVE hoodies on that I saw the artwork for tonight), have a little something said on behalf of our class and those classmates we have lost...then roam around and wreak havock. Just kidding.

This is all PENDING what Northside has going on, if they say it's okay to use inside the building, and the timing of their Homecoming festivities. We are working on those coordinations right now.

IF ANYONE WANTS A HOODIE THAT HAS NOT FILLED OUT THE SURVEY ON THE HOMECOMING TAB AT THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE PAGE...YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET ONE ONCE THE ORDER IS SUBMITTED. CONTACT CARLA ASAP TO GET ONE. WE WON'T BE ABLE TO GET BUT MAYBE 1 OR 2 EXTRAS. THANKS. DON'T MISS OUT ON THESE...THEY ARE SOOOOO SPECIAL!
