Drivelosity

I have not gone thru all the drivelocity posts yet, but have any of the others (DMM, Grimley, NLC, etc.) visited yet? It's kind of sad not having them around, but it is very nice that we have some newbies finding us!

I really have no idea. I think I was at 50 or 60 something. I droped down to 18 or 20, but I have gone above and beyond.

Bonnie have you been able to make up for the lost time???

I have been posting like a dog this past week. I've been a DIS member for 4 1/2 years and I barely passed 1,000 posts. I stopped working last month, when my Kindergartners graduated. I've just been bored this week, and stuck indoors lately due to all the rain we've been having. I butted into a couple new threads (like this one! ) so now I have more stuff to post about.

That's what happens when you get 3 days off in a row. I don't work again until Friday night, DD will be going with Grandma and Grandpa (my parents) to see her two GGMAs (that's what DD calls her great-grandmas) tomorrow in Iowa and won't be back until friday afternoon.

Wow I have way too much time on my hands.

OK I am goning to ask the stupid question.
You teach?
I remember my Kindergarten class. That was......wow 1980. I still remember what we did, my teacher is still teaching kindergarten and she remembers me!!! I just saw her the other day. The one thing that I wanted more than anything....I wanted to learn how to read, but she told me I would have to wait until the first grade to do that. Man that crushed my heart.

Well, I was teaching K until I moved here, to VA. Now I'm jobless. I haven't really tried to get a new job here. My own DD starts K this year and I kind of want to take the year off so I can be there for all her fun stuff.

That's cool your teacher still remembers you! Back then we didn't learn how to read in K, but I sure teach my students to read in K! Every year most of my students astound me with how much they learn, and I always have one reading group reading on a second grade level by the end of the year. It makes me so proud!

Hi Alisa!

My cousin (actually second-cousin) Dillon will be in 4th grade this year. Well last year there was some sort of test that he took or something. Well, he is at (or was at) a 6th grade reading level!!! I couldn't believe that. He taught himself how to read using the Harry Potter books, sesame street, and school.
He's one smart guy!!!
