In his Kindergarten class they have a tooth chart for students with loose teeth. He is very excited about this.
At my school job today it was a professional development day. No students, just classes. One of them reminded me of what I wrote last night. I referred to my brain as webs where all the ideas of the day get stuck and I am too tired to get them out by the time I write the Blog. In class today the instructor also compared the brain to a web. The strands in a web and the connections they make stand for the information we collect. The more information and connections between the information (better web) the better the background information a person is able to draw upon. This results in it being easier to access that knowledge as well as make some of the comparisons for learning. Too bad when I am tired what I get is the fly and the info stays trapped! Haha! I am writing earlier tonight.
The last few days I have been fighting a cold/cough. I forgot to take medication with me to work, other than cough drops, to help relieve the symptoms. I tried to keep sitting just a little distance from people to not infect them. We kept getting collaborative work to do so I worry that not only did I infect people but they thought I was trying to avoid them all and be unsocial.
Some happy things for today:
- My daughter is becoming a pretty awesome artist.
- I registered to vote and voted today in our local electons
- There is still some foliage out there.
- Gideon has a loose tooth!
- I took some notes for the Nano story that I hope to write.
- Sleep will be soon.
- Gideon, dancing around the room knocks something over on his foot. His mom inquires if he is okay... "Well, my foot has seen better days."
- Gideon at 5 and a half comes reads a word he doesn't understand, "What does 'literacy' mean?"
