SNOW!

Not much good news to report from school. BUT we got an early dismissal on Friday in preparation for the big snowstorm. AND we already know we have Monday off cause of the snow. AND we got 25 inches!

The grocery store Friday night was insane. People were parking on the sidewalk or just stopping and parking in front of other cars. Kaitlin was parked in for a little. And some lady yelled at us cause she thought we were butting in line. But really we were just trying to get to the Redbox to get a movie. You'd think people were going to be trapped for weeks and weeks judging by how much stuff they were buying. But I guess Delaware isn't used to lots of snow.

That's all for now. My snowed-in weekend may result in another, more informative blog entry. For now I'm going to watch Project Runway and curl up under a warm blanket. And breathe a sigh of relief that there's no school Monday.


Here are a few snow pictures, although they don't do it justice.

Am I watching a comedy show?

Another week of school has come and gone, full of strange happenings. For one: one boy in my class often throws up after lunch. I'm not sure if he just eats too fast or what, but it happens about once or twice a week. On Tuesday (I think. The days all kind of blur together in my brain.) my class was especially hyper in the cafeteria, and I moved boy-who-throws-up to a table by himself so he could calm down a little. Well, while he was there, he threw up. Luckily, no one was sitting around him. So I went into the kitchen to get things to clean it up. While I was in there, another boy laughed at him for throwing up. Now, this boy laughs at everything, but unfortunately, boy-who-throws-up is also extremely extremely sensitive and gets angry at the drop of a hat. (Did I mention I hate cleaning up vomit???) So I come out of the kitchen with my bleach and my paper towels, and kid-who-throws-up has kid-who-laughs in a headlock and is punching him in the stomach. I hustle over to them to ...

Last Day of School

Well, today was the last day of school. Dismissal was at 11:30 today, and my last student left just about 45 minutes ago. It definitely hasn't sunk in yet, but I'm sure it will at some point. I'm not sure if it'll happen gradually or all of a sudden. Graduation last night was a big success and I think helped me and the students to get some closure. It turned into a pretty big, over the top thing, and for a while I was really wondering if trying to do this was a stupid move on my part. Thankfully, Justin's church, Wilmington City Vineyard Church , volunteered to provide refreshments and help with setup and cleanup. They were a huge help, and it made everything way nicer than if I had just done it myself. I was just planning on throwing a pack of cookies and some juice on a table, but they had tablecloths and healthy snacks and got me folding chairs and all sorts of helpful stuff. I'd say there were about 60 people there, plus my 8 students and the volunteers from...
