Can't wait to hear more about the trip. Sounds like the train was an adventure.
And, just to join all the cool kids and chime in...
in 1980...
I was 1.
I can't believe you were up and going that early in the morning!!!
Out of curiosity, how many students are in your school?
I love the idea of a small school! You really must get to know all the students very well!
To put it all in perspective: DS and DD's school has close to 900 students K-5.
My school (right across the street) has 900 students 6-8.
I am lucky because I teach the gifted kids for all three years -- so my 8th graders have had me for all three years. Let's just say there are lots of pluses and some negatives to that. There is one student who drives me so batty that I have been counting down how many days I have left to teach him since he was in the sixth grade!
That student will be out of your hair soon.
Glad you like
hehe... siggies are just for fun...
Before my current school, I taught at a large school. It was a nightmare. I love a small school too.
Your DS and DD's school is HUGE! And so is your school.
Teaching the gifted is a unique experience. I love it.
That tells you something about him right there.
I love teaching the gifted students also -- they "usually" embrace whatever we are doing.
Yes, 20 more days and then the high school can have him -- just this year he managed to get kicked off the cross-country team for mooning other runners and during the CRCT looked ahead to the math section.
Woo Hoo 20 more days for you
I have 8 more weeks
Yes, 20 more and if you figure that we are touring the high school on Tuesday, I will be gone on Friday, I have a meeting on the following Friday, and the last day of school I don't have classes, I am really down to 16 days! I can't remember if he is going on the three chorus field trips, but if he is then that knocks it down to 13.
With most of the 8th graders, I will cry on the last day -- they were the first group I have taught for the full three years.
105 days until Disney 
We are almost at the 100th day mark! And we'll be in double digits by the end of next week!!!!
I think we need to celebrate with cocktails
If you've been reading my pre-trip, you know at this point, I need one!
I think you need several
Your poor little boy! Stomach bugs are the worst.

Perhaps it's time for me to uncork a bottle of white wine!
Okay, I have to ask what the play is since it involves the river Nile!
Woo! Woo! Woo!
I think that is an excellent plan!
Yes, you do!
