Even though there has been a lot going in my personal life this week, it was also my first week back in the classroom (I won’t call it teaching yet). Between the NECAP testing and everything else, I was lucky the assistant Teacher in my room had everything planned and did most of the teaching the whole week. This gave me the unheard of opportunity to actually observe most of the students in action, get to know my way around the building (where the bathrooms, library, copiers and custodians are) and meet the IT staff. All of which were very important to getting me acclimated and ready for next week.

American Girl is a remarkably successful brand of dolls marketed to girls eight years and older. Indeed, they are an American toy phenomenon. They are of American girls and for American girls. When my older daughters were younger, they each had an American doll. My eight-year-old, too, as well as her friends, are avid aficionados of the brand.

After declaring a public health emergency due to the H1N1 Swine Flu and the U.S. approval of numerous vaccines as prophylaxis, the time has come when citizens are taking actions in legal proceedings. Comment back if you know of more. Blame or give accolades to Jane Burgermeister , who on April 8th, 2009 filed criminal charges in Austria against Baxter and Avir Green Hills Biotechnology for producing and distributing contaminated bird flu vaccine material this winter, alleging that this was a deliberate act to cause a pandemic, and also to profit from that pandemic. Read more from her site at http://www.theflucase.com/ There is no case reference numbers that we can find.

Note to self: it’s a good idea to check the preschool calendar before getting daughter up for preschool. Because as it turns out, Alyssa does not have preschool today. Or Monday, either. Of course, I didn’t learn that until I looked at the calendar (that I conveniently placed on the side of our fridge!) at 8:57am, three minutes before I was going to run out the door with her and Ryan. So Alyssa doesn’t have preschool today, and she and Ryan do not have preschool on Monday, either.

Wood pellets. Nature is wise. It’s quite impossible to describe nature in a few words. Of course everybody is sure that nature exists but no one can see the whole body of nature though everybody knows which components this nature is composed of. It’s a complex system we are live in, can give us almost everything we need. Our duty is to respect nature and live in a harmony with it in order not to make harm to it.

Mamacita says: I hated elementary school, and by “hated” what I really mean is, well, HATED. I learned to read when I was really little, but I have never read as most other people do. When I read, I look at a page and immediately, that page is affixed inside my head. I can later “bring it back,” inside my head, glance at it and know what it says again. If I had to, I could read it back word for word, but that is not how I read. I look at the whole page and just “know.” From the time I was very young, I could do this. It’s really handy on planes, for I can re-read entire books by just closing my eyes, concentrating on a particular book, and seeing it page after page in my head.
