On Monday, Josiah and Caroline brought home their report cards and we saw with our own eyes their good marks. At the end of the week we went out to dinner to celebrate their grades. We tried a local place, Tucker's. It is a steakhouse, but when it came time to ordering, we all ordered burgers, even Henry who is usually all about the steaks. Henry said we rushed him into ordering so he didn't have time to think.
Caroline had more celebrating in her Old Testament
class. If they completed their workbook by a certain date, her teacher
said she would bring them to her family's bagel shop. Caroline said they
got to order anything they wanted and when asked for a name for the order, they all said 'Landis,'
their teacher's last name. No charge. Caroline had a sausage egg and cheese bagel and a
grilled muffin. Then they got a tour of the back of the restaurant to see
where all the dough was made. She had a good time. They made it
back to school in time to enjoy the Upper School nacho bar. In years past, the school had hot lunches twice a week, but the lady who coordinated
them (it was Chick-fil-a and pizza), doesn't work at the school anymore so they
ended the program. So, this year they're trying a few things like a
monthly nacho bar. I was asked to bring a crockpot of ground beef.
That morning, I brought 6 pounds of raw meat, plugged the crockpot into the
outlet and set my timer for 3 hours. Then I went to my class. When
my timer went off, one of the preschool aides checked on it. She came
back and said the crockpot was cold. Oh. No. The outlet was a dud
and another aide very generously cooked all my meat before the nacho bar
opened. Our kids said it was very good. The bar that is. They didn't
try my meat.
In my class this week, one of my students told me I was rude and to stop talking. I don't think so! I actually wasn't being rude and I did not stop talking. There are a few kids that I would love to follow through their teenage years. What are you going to be like?? The kids also got me sick for the long weekend. It was bound to happen with the ever constant coughing and sneezing into the air for all to enjoy. I am a broken record telling them Elbow! to catch their germs.
I took no pictures this week, but several were left for me.
