DYK Thread for September
**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**
DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know
It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members
Below are some fun DYK blinkies--feel free to snag any if you like:

Gabby's school seems pretty balanced.Gabby is the opposite of Matthew though.She is better at reading and she is an excellent writer.She really does not like to read,but she has no trouble with it.Gabby really does not like Math or Science ,but she isn't bad at either.She thinks she is though,just because she has to think more when it comes to these two subjects.You will find once kids reach the M/S level they seem to put a lot more emphasis on these two subjects(at least here they do)Gab's school does ability group the kids at the top into advanced classes and they base this on test scores and classroom grades,so a child that is gifted in math can take a math class that is more advanced.There are kids in Gabby's grade(8th)that are taking geometry instead of Alg 1(which most of the class takes.Gabby supposdly is in an advanced Alg class,but who know what that means.Then here are kids who are just in the advanced LA classes,so our school will place
Matthew still says he misses elementary school, and he's gotten lost a few times which has freaked him out
Jenna adores school, and Justin just takes everything in stride
He's very easy-going, like his dad
Tessa says she likes school if you ask her, but does not seem overly thrilled. But then, she has SM.
I was like Gabby--good in writing/reading, and not so good in math/science
Matthew inherited Michael's math skills

Matthew is EXTREMELY well-behaved in school
He's a teacher's dream: Quiet and cooperative
Home is another story, LOL

This has been a hectic and stessful week for me, and I'm glad tomorrow is Friday
However, Saturday we are taking Tessa, Jenna and their cousin Julia and neighbor/friend to the American Girl Doll place in NYC for lunch to celebrate their birthday
The boys are going to their cousins' house
Thank goodness Michael is willing to go to AG, because I am not too confident going in to the city alone with 4 little girls
I guess he'll put up with dolls and girlie luncheons for his little princesses ;)

We went to the AG store/bistro in Dallas twice. YES, Mike came, too!! In fact, he loves their chicken...the spice on it is awesome.
I had my first of two formal observations today. It went great!! I was so happy. It was a great lesson and one that I enjoy and engages the students well.
Came home and did my lesson plans for next week and all my materials for next week. This weekend I do need to work on updating my sub folder, though. It still has last year's info in it...eek! (and I've already had 2 subs..double eek!)
