<\/a>Cool morning walks with the pup, mist on the river.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>We have been talking a lot about programming and how turtles are involved (read on up on Logo if you’re interested), so when I saw Eve rolling out the tape with her backpack on, I couldn’t help thinking of programming turtles.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Someone forgot to put Arlo away in his crate for the day. Carnage throughout the house. :(<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Lex had open house at the middle school last week (week before? who can remember?!) He is on Team Nova and I saw this cool banner hanging in the hall. I asked if they talked about being Noble, Original, Vigilant, and Adventuresome. He said nope, he never even knew that’s what NOVA was for. Oh well.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>My little guy isn’t so little any more! He has a top locker and a bottom locker and his percussion lesson schedule stuck to the door. He’s growing up fast!<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Their first assignment in his STEM class was about making their name. I don’t know what the specific requirements were, but it came out pretty neat and STEMy. :)<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Back at the elementary school a first grader decided to “fix” my NEW sign for me. :) The letters fell down and he was being helpful.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>We have a bulletin board in the lobby with the green instructions written on it and lots of room for people to write their messages. Lex had a little fun with it. :)<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>This week King Arthur Flour’s Bake For Good program came to school and did a bread baking demonstration. I had a free period at that time and came down to watch. It was very cool! And I know the lady who did the demo! :) They sent all of the 4th and 5th graders home with a canvas tote full of KAF supplies and ingredients for baking bread. The kids have to bake a loaf to keep and a loaf to share (bring back to school to be donated to the food pantry). I LOVE the idea. Guess what we will be doing Sunday afternoon?! :)<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>My momma brought me lots of plants for my new library. They don’t grow well in my house, but I’m hoping for more success in the bright, sunny library! :) Maybe I can recruit a few plant waterers too. I LOVE my new space. Life is good.<\/p><\/div>\n
Now my show is over, my glass is empty, and my laptop battery is about dead, so I’m off.\u00a0 Good night.<\/p>\n
