December Daily 6th & 7th

In an effort to continue to avoid grading Stat quizzes, I have been working on gathering more photos for the ol' blog. My cousin Julie is also working on a December Daily album- I can't wait to see her work in January.

Saturday, December 6th:
Planting an amaryllis from my mom- the "before" picture. The dirt comes in a dried-out disk to which I added 4 cups of water. Last year's did so well that it had two blossoms. Unfortunately it grew a little too big- one day after school I arrived home to see the plant sprawled out on the floor after it fell off of the counter.


Sunday, December 7th:
Me. Our family room sits on the south-west side of our house, which I really love. We get lots of sunlight coming in during midday through the afternoon.

I proposed a new class at school for next year: College Algebra. It was approved, so my next task it to pick out a textbook. I'm excited to be creating a new class. I'm also really glad to give our students the opportunity to take a class that many of them have to take in college. Now they will be able to earn college credit by taking it with me at the high school.

Remember the post where I said I re-numbered the calculator caddy with puff paint? I thought that the last time I had used puff paint was when I decorated Christmas shirts for me and Julie. My Aunt Marita came through, big time! Here are two pictures from that 1991 Ringkob Christmas.
