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.
Len and Angie have been living with us. they bought a house in Springville and will be moving at the end of the month. I love visiting with Angie. She also cooks dinner. wow am I spoiled. and to top it off she is a good cook.
