I have given the students in grades 3-12 an extra credit assignment for history. They are to watch the debates tonight between President Bush and John Kerry. I have given them instructions on what they have to do, comparing and contrasting the views of the two men. If they successfully complete the assignment, they will receive up to 10% extra credit on one of their history tests.
It is due on Monday.
email me if you have questions.

My Day
Busy day at school today. Pulled my back out a bit this morning and could hardly walk by the time I got home. Weird part is that my back didn't hurt nearly as much as my right leg again.
School is going very well this year. Much more positive atmosphere, lots more fun. Kids are working harder and are all caught up with their work.
Still having trouble trying to burn DVDs for the school. Very frustrating because I finished the whole project but it freezes everytime I try to burn a DVD. Can't find an answer to my problem. I'm suspecting it might be the processor upgrade I put in a while back. Might be causing a glitch. But, I can't undo that.

Swim Party
Our church BBQ and Swim Party went well. We must have had around 25 people. Lots of food, lots of fun.
Zack
Yup, He's growing! I have a teenager! Pray for me. He's 13. Starting 8th grade this year. Now, pray for him. I'll be his teacher!

Elizabeth's Dance Teacher
Elizabeth took ballet and tap dance classes for the second year. She has really enjoyed them. They are offered by the city of La Mirada where we live. She's in the black tutu in the middle. Her teacher is so very patient with the children. She does a great job.
Farmer Elizabeth
Here's my girl from another angle, doing the same thing. Hope she keeps up this interest. We are eating very healthy food these days. (Ask me for my zucchini recipe. It is the best!)
Farmer Elizabeth
Elizabeth has taken a lot of interest in our new vegetable garden. She waters it everyday, either with her big green water can or her garden hose. She also likes to pull weeds. So far her bounty has been green bell peppers and lots of zucchini.
Swim Party
We had a great turn out to our BBQ and Swim Party at the house. Filled up the house and the patio and pool. Couldn't have handled too many more people, I don't think. Had more than enough food.
I'll post some pictures shortly. No, I think I'll post them at the same height I am now.
Everybody commented on the garden. Got lots of zucchini growing and plenty of green tomatoes. Wish some would turn red.
Don't ask about Doug's deposit in our pool! :=)

Work Day!
We're having the church over tomorrow for a BBQ and Swim Party. Lots of work to do cleaning up everything. We've redone so much of the backyard this year. We pulled out 3 trees and a lot of shrubs. It was too hard to clean the pool with all those leaves everyday. In their place we planted a vegetable garden, mostly tomatoes and zucchini squash. I can't believe how fast zucchini grows. You can almost see it growing.
The kids have enjoyed it. Elizabeth likes to water it and help Connie pick the veggies. Zack planted most of it himself this year and helped me put up a chicken wire fence to keep our Golden Retriever, Aslan, out of there! He gets in pretty frequently anyway.

Seeing Old Friends
What a wonderful time I had visiting with two of my dearest friends from my days of teaching at the Norwalk/La Mirada Adult School. Rae Lynn and Sharon were wonderful people to work with and were always so supportive of me in everything I did.
We met at a Japanese Restaurant. (A first for me, I think) and had a nice lunch together. We talked over old times. I found out some dear friends had past away. It was good to catch up on where everyone was these days.
One thing I am always amazed about is that you can be away from friends for years and then just pick up where you were so long ago.
AND the miracle of it all was I went the entire day without saying one negative thing to Rae Lynn about John Kerry! Yes, she is my token Democrat friend. We should all have at least one. They are so much fun. (Luv you Rae!) But I behaved myself, which most of you know is very difficult for me to do most of the times.
Hope we stay in better contact.
