Back to School

Today I am headed back to school to see what is left of my classes. Some teachers have been happy to take an extra period of my students so that they would not come under the scrutiny of a subs that did not quite understand them. I think that is generous on the part of my fellow teachers. On the other hand trying to work through difficult situations is one of the things that my students need to learn. If a class is boring or more difficult than what they usually encounter, they need to practice coping skills and get through it. Many of life's really cool things have started out too hard to do.

My lunch group as technological as they could be can only muster a weak phone call and then an email to my sister Kelly who informed them that I was still indeed alive. They should know that I don't answer the phone of people that I don't know. They call me so infrequently that their numbers are not of the pick up list. This new addition to the house makes it further to run to the phone. Besides I am probably watching something engrossing on my new TVs.

Speaking of new TVs, I got the Wii fired up this weekend. I thought that I had a bad unit as every time I tried to use a disc.. for the games it showed up as a bad disc.. could not read. I had a console flat.. it should work that way but.. no it doesn't. I had some fun learning how to point the hand held controller at the screen. It is very sensitive. I played some of the games and they were fun. I liked the fishing although it was kind of hokey. What was interesting was the propreoceptive feel of the controller. It did a lot of buzzing in your hand.

Onward and upward.. got to get ready for school. I hope your Monday is good.

Love
Pat
