The Mad Chatters thread Part 2

[TheDisneyTraveler06]

Oh, man! Don't tell me I'm the only one here!

 

[TheDisneyTraveler06]

Hi Karen, sorry I missed you. Now I'm on and your light is out. I guess summer is officially over. Everyone has there own schedules to deal with and the chatting is slowing down.

Very true! But Im here, and no one else is! I guess I picked a bad time...

 

[TheDisneyTraveler06]

Hi Tricia! I'm not enjoying it very much. The kids are wild animals and it is gonna take a LOT to get them trained. Maybe when the assistant gets back from vacation and we get a routine down it will be better. As it is, my favorite time of day is NAP time!

What's new with you? My stripey siggy disappeared the day after I got it! I don't know why. How come you still have yours?

Aww! I'm so sorry! Hopefully it will get better, Bonnie.

I'm here Denise, just got a call from Sis in law and then went out to do lawn maintenance.

 

[Bbgrizzle]

Hi folks, is anyone home? I'm going to bed in a few minutes, but I thought I'd stop in.

 

[Bbgrizzle]

Looks like I missed everyone. Well, goodnight!

Bye Bonnie.

Well, just got a call from my mom and she's home. New problem, though, her good leg is cramping/spasming a lot now and when it does that she cannot use her walker. The good news is they are going to give her a home health aide to help, and right now her two brothers and her mom are there with her. The good/bad news is that she has to go back tomorrow to get a pin put in, as the bones will not stay like they hoped they would........the bad is obvious, but the good is that it will actually be better for her ankle and the pain may not last as long.............

Everyone pray for her during surgery tomorrow..............

Paige,of course the prayers will be going up!! Please post an update if you get the chance. That really is a good news bad news situation.

Will you be going to visit her anytime soon? Did her sister arrive yet?

Hi Jay. Thanks for asking. Check the siggy and I have A last one to post the time game. I was bored. http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1200988 All the other games seem to be dying out. I will think of something. How are you doing?

I love your do you remember game!! It's a lot of fun. Just reading the other answers brought back a lot of good memories (and some that are better left in the past ).

How was your day?

 

[jaycns]

Getting time to run.

Jay, Mindy, Denise, Paige, Bonnie, and everyone who makes chatting fun (when there's someone to chat with) Have a great Wednesday!!!!!!

Awww shucks...that made me smile!!

Here's an apple pie for you (and all of you other wonderful chatters)!!

We need to start scheduling chat time! Think of it as your homework!

What's new with you? My stripey siggy disappeared the day after I got it! I don't know why. How come you still have yours?

At least you are able to get them down for nap time! Just imagine the teacher who has to deal with them next year with no nap time scheduled! I'm sure that won't make it any easier on you...but maybe you can !

I sure hope that they calm down with a little bit of time (a very little bit of time) and maybe the return of your regular assistant will help prod it on a little bit!

What book did you buy from Barnes and Noble?

 

[jaycns]

Congratulations Minty Mindy...you lucky soul...tomorrow you get to start doing the single digit dance...let me be the very first to join you How exciting!!

 

[jaycns]

How should I grade this, do you think? We did a paper with a T chart.........which is basically a cause/effect chart about community places. I provided for them on the board and we discussed:
What? How helps?
hospital helps heal
school helps us learn
library
fire station
police station
city hall

We also discussed a possible answer for library and what city hall is and an answer for that.

19 of them turned in exactly what I wrote on the board without the other answers.
9 what I wrote on the board plus 1 more answer.
7 what I wrote plus 2 or 3.
17 completed the assignment...............100 for those, I guess, but what for the rest? I had thought 90, 80, 70 but that seems awfully generous for not doing it. Or I could go 80, 70, 60........but that's a lot of Fs for the first full week of 2nd grade.

I'd go with option number one but explain that next time listening will count for a much higher percentage of the grade and restate that when in doubt, please ask instead of not doing. Just what I would do...then again, I am a push over!

Have a great Thursday Cousins (Paige, I love that...I have bunch of mad chattin' cousins). It makes me think of Stitch..."Ohana means family"

 

[EEYOREMAMA]

WHICH CARTOON CHARACTER ARE YOU?


Have a Terrific Thursday everyone!!!!!!!

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Good Morning Karen. This is about as early as I can get on and I still missed you. Have a good Thursday everyone.

 

[EEYOREMAMA]

Hello!!!!!!! No one's home, so I'm leaving a message. At the sound of the I'm going out on the boards and find someone to talk to.

WHICH CARTOON CHARACTER ARE YOU?

 

[Princess Mindy]

Hi all! I miss everyone so much! I'm hanging in there at work
Hey Karen-took the quiz about the cartoon character I'm most like and:
You are Tweety.

You are cute, and everyone loves you. You are a best friend that
no one takes the chance of losing. You never hurt feelings and
seldom have your own feelings hurt. Life is a breeze. You are
witty, and calm most of the time. Just keep clear of back stabbers,
and you are worry-free.

I like that!

Oh and BTW, I'm single digit dancing!!!!

Hi gang!

It's 6:15 and I'm about to leave to go back to work for a staff meeting. But I wanted to leave a quick post to say hi.

My assistant came to work today and she is very bossy, but I think I"ll be able to work with her okay. She is very organized and clean, which is great, because I am a person who focuses more on the lesson plans and how much the kids are learning and I don't really pay attention to whether each toy is back in it's specific spot! So she is welcome to deal with that so I dont have to. She is from Romania and has a heavy accent and is hard to understand. And maybe that's where her personality comes from, not sure. I didn't feel as stressed today, cause she did a lot to help and I didn't feel like I was doing everything. So today went pretty well.

I have a cold and I feel like dookey, so I might not be on tonight after the meeting. Hope everyone had a great day and has a great night. Bye!
