I will volunteer myself as a test subject. I will test out all samples of vino in the glasses
Hey somebody has to do it....I give give give I tell ya!
You don't have to do it all by yourself! (That's what friends are for!)
Two of everything? One must be mine because I have received NOTHING
Do you think they fire for that? 
They have 3 teams, 6-2, 6-3 and 6-4 (why no 6-1???) . Those teams are broken up into 2 or 3 classes each. The main subjects are taught between the teachers on their team only. So he will have 2 teachers for the main stuff, Math, English, etc... The special classes (Spanish, woodworking, computers, sewing, etc...) will have the teachers that only teach those. But in general the stuff he will have trouble with will be with the teachers on his team. I heard the other one is tough but sweet, but Ive heard nothing good about his homeroom teacher who he will be with the most. When a teacher moves her son out of the class, it cant be good. 
please-o-please let it not be too bad!
Got my fingers crossed for ya'll!!!
I'm thinkin' this pool party / BBQ thing for DS's new swim league is not gonna be such a good turnout this evening! It is supposed to stay in the 70's for a couple of days I think - that is WAY too early to be that fall-like!! I think our "average" temp is still supposed to be something like 85 until Sept. anyway!
The good news: fixed the AC for less than $200
The bad news: we need a new AC unit
We heard back from the principal and he was able to make the change (I guess some kid on another team moved). I am SO relieved!
We have A/C. I just refuse to let Babs turn it on. She'd have the house at 50 degrees all year long if I let her. ("I have to be cold Mom! Yeah, go jump in the pool.)Isn't it funny how we all want what we dont have. I really should be living in Florida.
Im with you Cheri. We have no AC in the house except a portable window unit that we put up in the play room usually from like June -September. I only use it when I run or sometimes we will put it on if we are really having incredibly hot weather. This year its only been on for my running.
And I have to tell you guys, I have succeeded...in either getting Cam a better class or being blacklisted for the next 6 years at the middle school.
(you can always come whine here, but we reserve the right to say somethin' )I hate those state tests. If your kid is at "grade level" and tests ok, he/she is deemed "succeeding" and therefore the school district doesn't have to shell out the time and $ to look into what's really going on with the child evenif the parent knows something is wrong. Now, if said child does poorly on state tests, schools say, "that's only one indicator and doesn't always accurately show what your child really knows".Dang kids.
We're headed for 103 today and 105 tomorrow, so RJ glad you got that unit fixed!! We thought we would be tough and actually turned the AC off last week but its back on now.
OK add me to the "crazy school mom" list. Between GATE (advanced placement) tests and STAR (CA state mandated tests) scores I am ready to home school Ryan. OK not really I would lock her in a closet and that would not accomplish much, but wow its hard not to get caught up in it when your parental expectations aren't met. Are my expectations too high, do I overestimate DDs abilities , is she really struggling as these test scores indicate, or is she slipping through the cracks? Apparently no one at the school can answer me; not her 2nd grade teacher last year, not the principal....so it all rests, unfortunately for her, on her 3rd grade teacher. Our schools test scores were HORRIBLE in my opinion so someone here had better be esplaining those scores to me before I totally flip. I even started calling the charter and magnet schools in Tracy to see if anyone has room for a curly headed 3rd grader. Apparently that answer is "no".
