| Note to Self- This is IMPORTANT! |
A big project is going on in our crawl space. My hubby has been working on providing support for the joists so that when we walk on the floor, it would not bounce and create weird noises. I think it would be easier if we both lost a few pounds, by my better half is determined to do the job. About two weeks ago, we crawled around and measured the space to decide the placement of the support posts. Yesterday we hired a man to come in and help pour concrete for the support posts. Next week our two adult children will be here to help hoist the beams atop the support posts. Hopefully, this will solve the problem of the weird noises in our home.
Teaching is going well. I have had many calls for Intermediate classes all over the board, which is fine with me. Interestingly, today one of the authors of the Hall Dennis Report died. Mr. Dennis was a strong supporter of Living and Learning, a document that I studied at university. It recommended that we do away with rote learning and corporal punishment in our schools.
Spring Break is just around the corner! Tomorrow is the last teaching day and then there is a week long vacation. I will be covering in another Intermediate class and I am thinking that it should be fun. Several of the students will be away on a ski trip. I am wondering how many of the others will actually show up. No matter, who is there will be there and I will do the job at hand. Looking forward to a week of no course and no teaching.
Perhaps I will have time once again to write.
Oh, and I heard today that the time springs ahead this weekend. That means one less hour of sleep on Saturday night. This is the first time we have been in the country with the early advent of Daylight Savings Time. It does feel like Spring is in the air!
Until next time,
Bee Rich
