I spent the morning in a workshop about an updated version of a computer program we use at school. It was wonderful!  I love the old program, but the new one really has a lot more to offer.

Get this ~ the new program is only for the ESOL students in our classes.  That means three of my 18 students get to use the wonderful new program while the others have to continue using the older version of the same program.

Please, someone, explain to me how this makes sense!

This commercial only adds fuel to my irrational fear of gingerbread men!

Why do weekends have to end?

Random acts of kindness...

I was out and about today running errands when I stopped at Target to pick up a couple of things.  My order totaled $18.95.  I paid using a Target gift card I've been carrying around for a couple months.

After I was finished, I turned to the lady that was in line behind me held out the gift card and said, "I think there's a dollar left on this card and it's yours if you want it."  You would not believe the reaction I got from her or the cashier! You would have thought I handed over a million dollars.  They were both so surprised and happy by what I had done.

I walked away smiling and yet still thinking, " Really, people, it was just a dollar!"

Have we become such a self centered society that the gift of a dollar deserves such a surprised response?  It's pretty sad if we have!

So, go there and hand someone in line behind you a dollar or whatever is left on that gift card you keep forgetting to use and make their day.  Their reaction is guaranteed to make yours too.

The other day, I asked my class one of the many questions that I ask everyday during calendar time.

"How many days are in a week?"

In true kindergarten fashion someone called out the answer, "2013!"

No one understood why I laughed and said, "So it's not just my imagination!  It really has been a long week!"
