ooh wheeeee. I am having a rough day. I really have no time for idiots or for people who intentionally erect hurdles to goals or complainers: work colleagues -- communicate clearly and stay in your sandbox. librarians -- if you put books on hold for me, know where they are. school parents -- volunteer to fix it rather than complain and respect school policies. ebola -- go away already. grrr.

From Elise's school: Hello, Today we talked about taking care of toys and sharing toys with friends. We also talked about taking care of pets. Our little class pet is our stuffed owl/blanket named Pinky! We made a chart about how to take care of pets. Then we all drew pictures of pets or of an owl. We also played Pet Charades and everyone acted out an animal and the rest of class guessed what they were doing. We practiced sorting buttons and putting animals from smallest to largest. I also read the book Don't Tease Tootsie, Please. It was about being mean to pets and what we should do instead. We worked in our journals on writing the letter Bb. They had Spanish today. 

Name one way we can take care of pets:

Elise- let your bunny play in your backyard and play with your toys. 

Did you know that there's a rule for pronouncing thee/thuh?! If the word following the starts with a consonant sound, you pronounce the as "thuh." If the word following the starts with a vowel sound, you pronounce the as "thee." I love order.
