songspinnerStill here. It was a rather long, exhausting week for many, many reasons.
My sweetie and I are doubling up on sewing projects: I sewed three seams of the pillow-cover we're making for the couch and he did the zipper side. :) Family-team sewing, I guess. He had better costuming classes in his theater degree program than I did, so he's better at certain sewing techniques.
The learning services group decided they could fit my daughter in for a diagnostic intake next week, which is amazing given how busy they usually are. So we might have answers on how to help her soon. She did really well on her spelling this week, and her math (which was all patterns, and she's brilliant at those), so that may have helped her self-esteem somewhat.
One of my students today (I assigned them a paragraph to write based on a list of steps for doing something), wrote two but handed me first the "prank" paragraph, entitled "how to write a paragraph“. When I stopped laughing, he grinned and handed me the real one. Sneaky ten year olds... Another boy wrote one about "how to convince your parents to get you a pet", and included this sentence: "If they say no, ask for something like a flamethrower and see if they get startled enough to say yes to the next thing you ask for." Oh dear.
