yes well jackie likes to bathe the cat. but with a audience and with the cat hollering the way she was, and jackie not doing what i asked her. It all kind of rolled up into one. i got mad. Kicked the audience out of the house and took jackies animals away along with her phone and grounded her for the rest of the day. Guess it worked for now.
And I came home with 2 pairs of capris and guitar hero world tour.
I'm hoping to use that as leverage when discussing spring break plans with dh, lol.
I really don't want to go anywhere, and I'm hoping spending this much on the game will make him at least agree to somewhere close, and only for a couple of days.
no, definitely not the norm. And I know he has far fewer students than I do, but my last test, I did get As, but no 100s, could you imagine me re-testing all 160 kids??? UGH!! (I know that makes me sound lazy, but still...that's crazy.)
The reason I asked is because there was a news report about a district in Texas and one of the things was that anyone could re-test to get a better score. Another I think was that you couldn't give below 50% on any assignment (but I might be confusing that with something else that was said at school).
LEAP was traditionally given for one full week in March. This year, they first decided to split it up into 2 half-weeks...Wed, Thur, Fri (Mar 11-13) and Mon-Tues (Mar 16-17)--I know this because I found out the testing dates to see if they interfered with the NSTA conference in New Orleans (Mar 19-22).
By the time school started, they decided to still do the split, but move it to April, ending before Good Friday.
Next year, Easter is like April 4, and they put it for the Wed-Fri after Easter (we usually have Good Friday and the week after Easter off..that started about 9 or 10 years ago--before it was the week before).
So, BESE had to decide if they would keep the dates for next year the same, or move it to the whole week of Mar 22.
Apparently they decided to keep it, because they sent us and updated tentative calendar for next year that has us off the week before and Easter Monday off.
But that means, they have a week and Monday off, then start testing on Wed???
it was in the high 30s this am, but will be in the high 50s tomorrow morning and we should hit 75 or 76 tomorrow afternoon.
I saying my farewells to driving into the pink "spring" sunrises. Friday will be the last morning. Next week, it will be dark driving to school, and by the time it's daylight for my drive again, the sunrises won't be pink anymore. :o(
See, now that's a problem--she has a 100%, then add the 0 for the test, and it drops her 4 letter grades??? That's crazy.
We don't weight our grades. Like that, anyway--they get weighted, but it's not like that. We are supposed to have 60% mastery grades (tests, quizzes, lab reports for science--other subjects may have their own thing), 30% "graded along the way" grades (class assignments, projects, activities, worksheets), and 10% participation (give me points).
But the way we have to weight them is by point value.
I have it in my phone, that way, if we're not home when I decide to order to-go or to do call-ahead waiting (which doesn't work with big parties, by the way...but with just 2 or 3 of us, they will seat us as soon as we walk in), I don't have to worry about not knowing it. It's in my phone.

Wow, it's been quiet since I've been gone!
I went to Target to get Zoe some capris.
