Bella and Edward

Yesterday Rani, Rachel and I went to see Twilight. I was a little sceptical. But it was true to the book with all the longing looks and beautiful bodies. I didn't think the actor playing Edward was good enough looking after seeing him in harry potter but he was in the movie. I love mindless stories that I don't have to think about, It is a great way to relax. and afterward we went out to dinner. good excuse for a girls night out. and Maggie is coming down today without her kids we are going shopping and will go get Rani at 5:30 for dinner. and maybe more shopping. I don't know what we are shopping for but in that case maybe I won't spend any money.

Loren's proddings

LoLo called me the other day and asked why I wasn't writing on my blog and I must admit I hadn't thought about it. So here is our catch up. dad is doing fine. Mom is doing fine. Ethan is doing fine. just kidding. Dad is still getting up early and going to bed early. He likes the creative side of his job. He is tired when he gets home and likes to sit in front of the TV for the rest of the night. school is crazy. I have to do so many more things and really don't have the time. The big push in education is data driven instruction. If I pretest a student and find (for example) that he is reading too slow. I teach towards his reading faster. then weekly I test his rate and see if he is reading faster. If not I change my instruction to help him. so all 30 kids have to be tested weekly on their goals. the challenge is finding the time to teach and test. they all have at least 3 goals and 6 objectives.
