We usually celebrate Earth Day in some way. Most often we go to Peanut’s school for a festival, spend some time in a park or in our backyard, or plant some plants in the front yard. But today Peanut woke up sick and I had a pretty bad night last night so I slept in. [...]

Peanut is so excited about going to school tomorrow (wait did I just write that?). She’s chosen her book and her blanket for reading time tomorrow, a school-wide project where all students spend part of the day with a book of their choice, chillaxing on a blanket on the floor. Books and a Blanket is [...]

Back To School Again

photo credit: DislOck Tomorrow starts school again for Peanut. She is not a happy camper in the least. Although she loves school, she also is like me, a night owl. She does not like going to bed early and waking up early. She would also rather spend time on the computer, playing video games, reading, [...]

It’s usually an event where there’s a movie, popcorn, hot cocoa, etc. and the money raised goes to a charity. This year though, since times are hard, we did something very different. Local stores donated Christmas trees. [...]

Today Is Parent Teacher Meeting AKA Compact
October 28, 2008 By 4 Comments
I don’t know why Title 1public schools in Florida call their annual parent teacher meetings a compact meeting but that’s really the name. I always thought it was a contract meeting because the teacher, Peanut and I sign a paper saying we all agree on what Peanut will work on during the school year. But [...]
