Pushing to the Finish Line.....

There are just about as many pans in the fire as this instructor can handle right now! Please forgive me for not updating daily. The following activities are consuming just about every conscious minute: We are trying to finish up paperwork for the new Capstone Classical Academy Charter, my family and I are trying to pack up our house (could not even find my shoes this morning!) so that we can move sometime within the next week, we are attempting to get our house complete to a standard that we can live with, we have paperwork due to the office this  week for science assessments on the staff, I am developing the science fair information for next year, and I have a pile of grading I am attempting to work through.....not that I am at all making excuses, I just ask for a bit of grace over the next few weeks as all of these time consuming labors work themselves out! I have commitments every evening this week and next, which is what has me updating a blog at wee hours of the morning! Thank you!

As far as school is concerned....we are collecting the ticket money for the play on the 19th. The Terrace Plaza does a phenomenal job with A Christmas Carol and this makes for a splendid family night out if you want to join us. Students are $6, adults are $9 and we need cash to bring down to the box office on Friday of this week. Send in your ticket money today, tomorrow, or Friday morning if you want to enjoy the show!

We are all set for drivers for Monday. We have Mrs. Tracy, Mrs. Kemp, Mrs. Maxwell, Mr. Pope, and Mrs. Sugihara driving.  Thank you to these parents for taking time out of their busy schedules to get us to and from Mountain Ridge. We will be needing you at school, up in my room to get scholars by 1:30. Thank you again!

Students will be taking the geography quiz this morning for the geography bee that will take place in January.

Students will also be receiving their science fair packet for 2013 before the break. This will give them time to work through it and come up with ideas that they can submit for approval. The packet will look much like the packet they received last year. They will have an opportunity to IMPROVE their experiment from last year, but they can not simply resubmit what they tested last year. It will have to have a significant different element to it.

Pushing to get items done off the list....and trying to not strive over the next two weeks....enjoy your preparation for the holidays!
