Day 259

Sunday - 
Teaching Kindergarteners and 1st graders this morning. I had 14 and this was the roughest Sunday of the month. The story part went very well, but my craft helper happened to 'slip' out of the room and I was doing one-on-one activities that should have been shared, but I didn't say anything. Luckily everything was cut out and each place setting was set up before class. But then 10-15 minutes before class was to be over, some Wednesday night teachers came and took the children because they were going to be singing during the morning worship service. Now, obviously I let them go, but I was disappointed because they did not get to finish their ravens before they left - they did not get to walk down the hallway and hang them on the wall - they did not get to draw their journal page - they did not get snack. If I had known ahead of time - I would have been prepared and adjusted my time for their benefit. Ah well............... So Jared, Jaide, and some of her friends were kind enough to help finish them up and hang them on the walls. 

The beaks have double-sided tape on them and hard candies are placed there for the adults to help themselves to. Next week is the last week and I will have the 5th and 6th graders. Jaide said she is looking forward to making her raven next week. Now, as for the 2 dozen pumpkin muffins....... I brought them home and they are in the freezer. I have company coming next week and if I need to, I can pull those out too. 
Lunch was provided today by Jason & Peggy. We had:

Sausage & Onion Quiche

Chicken & Broccoli Quiche

Biscuits / Peach Slices

Yogurt & Granola

Excellent meal - thank you very much. 

It's a gray and rainy day. Not too cold but just kind of dreary. It was a very quiet afternoon here.
