Nik hasn't seen Phantom yet, I'll have to put it in my Netflix. We watched West Side Story & she cried so hard after watching that I felt bad. She loved it the story & had many questions of why did they have to treat each other that way & have gangs. Nik is a crier if its a happy ending, if its a sad ending, if it a mother daughter thing. She's way too sensitive.
Has Gab seen The clique yet or twilight? Nik hasn't read any of the Twilight books & has no interest in them.
Its been a week of tests at school & Nik's been stressed. The math teacher told me yesterday that she was giving the chapter test & its a 2 day test & she fully expects a retake for them all. Why give it if she knows its going to be a retake? Then there is the science chapter test today & she had a SS test on Monday, ran out of time for the bonus questions so she asked to finish it the next day. The teacher told her she had to go look to see if she got more time. I guess her teachers have no clue she has an IEP. She got the extra time but the teacher didn't give her the extra points & the test isn't allowed to come home. Nik was so proud she asked for extra time & I would have to figure she won't from now on because she didn't get the extra points taking the extra time. The not asking the teacher why is a left over from last yr. , she's afraid to ask. I won't intercede for her.
Happy to hear your mom is doing well. How is her thoart feeling?
Ours is dur Monday. I have tried resizing the best pic I found of Mozart & I can't get it big enough so I guess I'll be trying to follow it freehand & I'll cut it because we only have the one piece of oak tag. We would like to find some but so far no luck. It would be nice to have some in the house just in case we need it if an error is made.
I shudder to think of what next months report will be.
My moms throat is fine,but she may not have that side effect becasue of where she is getting her radition.On Monday they are supposed to boost the radion a bit so we shal see then.She is 1/2 through her treatments today.
Doesn't Nik have the same teacher for Math and Science?Just curious why she would give 2 tests on the same day,since it is the same teacher.Gabby isn't a crier at all but for some reason Phantom touched her.Gab is going to a friends to watch the clique tonight.She really does not want to see Twilight at all,but if a friend asks I am sure she would go.Gabby has had
Good for Gabby speaking up I wish Nik would more often. She may have gotten the extra time but she didn't get the bonus points & she won't ask why. She may take the test home today & bring it back Monday & put it back in her folder. I think as a parent I have the right to see the test & then she can bring it back. This was the hardest test because it took man from the ice age right up to us & they needed to know all about each evolution, traits, living styles etc. Nik got an 87 & that was good from what she told me. Its only a B- so she wasn't happy at all.
Nik does have the same teacher for those 2 subjects but I guess she doesn't care about assigning 2 big tests at the same time. last night Nik also had 17 questions to answer in the new SS chapter. To say this week the work & tests have been piled on is not exaggerating. I just don't see why these teachers feel the need to rush everything. They leave more than 1/2 the class in the dark. Since the SS notebook can't home whenever she has SS homework I make a copy so she has it to look over before a test is announced. The science sheets they had for homework this week on the intergumetary system never came back home to study for the test today, thankfully I made a copy of that also.
Gab will go far because she's not afraid to stand up for herself & speak up. Nik was taught not to in Fl because its disrespectable & up here well you know what last yr. was like. I wish Nik was more like Gabby.
I may rent Nik The Clique today after school & have a girls night w/her tonight. Its been a while since we had a girls night & hung out together.
Thank God your mom is half thru those treatments, I think just going every day is tiring, I hope the weahter holds good till she's done.

LOL at the Greek names, Ang!
My sister's name is Maria
She is 18 months younger than I am, and we grew up like twins (Very close)
That's interesting about all the different dialects in China
Have you been to China?
I really want to take my kids to Greece now that they're a bit older
I have cousins who live there
The last time I went was 1995
I took my DH as a graduation present when he graduated from medical school, but we had no kids then
Thanks for the recipe!
Maybe I'll try it!
Sounds really good
Heck, Matthew thinks he knows it all, and he's only 10
He also thinks Michael and I are like the lamest people ever to walk the Earth, LOL ;)
