New-vember!

Prepare yourself.

It begins tomorrow.

You're more than welcome to join in on the fun. :)

Police

I'm pretty sure as a kid I only every saw or interacted with police when Officer Friendly came to school.

Not so now. And it doesn't seem out the norm. But on a day like today when I stop and think about their presence now, it's much more than I wish I needed.

I teach across from a LARGE police station. School starts as shifts change. There are a lot of officers coming, and a lot of them going.

There was an undercover arrest across from my house today. Not usual. But not unusual.

The officer that is needed to protect the first grade boy from the parent he doesn't live with.

The officer that stands in front of school to make sure nothing is brewing.

The officers that are needed before a parent teacher conference can begin.

Really?

Yes. Really.

The Groom

I'm totally in love with him.

Snow: The New Holiday

Me: What is your favorite holiday?
Student: Halloween, then snow, then Christmas.
Me: I love all of those!

i put andrew in charge of the gun while registering this week, allowing me to pay full attention to the MILLIONS of options at bed, bath & beyond.

i looked at the printout today and noticed we are registered for some neat surprises.
