Term+4

Welcome to Term 4, a "place" for us to continue sharing resources and staying in touch!
Thanks, Christa for being the first to contribute to Term 4. I too enjoyed Monday night, but I missed all of you and the energy that always followed me home.
 * Emmy:** Just read an article that I think you will all find applicable to your teaching: The Importance of Imagination. It is something we talked about many times. Also I finished The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht, among the most remarkable and well written books I've ever read - you would all enjoy it!


 * Christa:** As much as I enjoy being with all of you, I have to say that it was nice to have a "free night" last night and to not have to do all of that driving! I can't say that I used my extra time for anything exciting, but it felt good to have that little bit of extra time to "get stuff done." Hope everyone enjoyed their evening as well! Take care and talk to you later! :)

Then I came home and had dinner with my kids and then we played Yatzee! It was fun. Hope you are all having fun as well!
 * Amy**: Can't say that I have been using my extra Monday night time that productively either. However, I did get to attend my first union meeting of the year (they are always Monday evenings). It was nice to hear all the good things they are doing.


 * Carrie**: I totally agree. I've missed you guys, but it still hits me that oh my gosh, it's Monday and I can pick up the kids and go right home. I don't know that I've done anything for myself or worthwhile to take advantage of the Mondays off although I have gotten some more laundry done than I normally had. Hope everyone is doing well!

My cap and gown came. It will be nice to see some of you at graduation.
 * Irene**: Hi to all as well. I've been doing sporadic "urgent" things every night of the week, it seems, but I am a better reader since our class, enjoying the lack of dread over what I am supposed to have finished that I forgot about for that week. Today I heard a teacher raving about her kindergarten twins' Mother's Day Spa and I thought of you, Christa. Hope yours was fun! (Hers was in Oconomowoc.) Imagine two kids doing her hair from each side.
