Surving the first week of school

Well, it's Tuesday of the second week of school and I'm still breathing.  Things have been moving fast and furious for these past few days.  If technology would cooperate...things would be great...thank goodness for students that can problem solve and see the forest for the trees.  My lunch bunch is already back and creating movies....so even lunch is loud...which is great!  Except for the fact that I am reading the calendar, it doesn't feel like we ever left...the students and teachers have just picked up where we left off from May.  The schedule is running just like always and I can't seem to get away from school before five....perhaps next week!  But it's great getting back into a routine.  Check out the Rummel Creek Learning Commons page for activities to support the students learning!

iPhone!

I am trying to get into the 21st century personally. I've been pushing all of the technology at RCE...but never did anything at home. After a week in Austin with NO internet, Limited e-mail (inbetween meetings), and NO computers....I decided it was time to come into the technology rich environment at home. My daughter and I have spent the last two hours trying to make the settings work...she's downloaded all kinds of apps...I'm a little behind...too many choices on the settings. The one downside is..I'll probably work 24/7...and I am already nearly there! Life is so fun. Watching my daughter light up as she found more apps to try was fun...We've really changed her this summer....a MacBook Pro and an iPhone! What a change from the dell....here comes grad school!

Last few days before back to full time...hard to believe how fast the summer flew by...feels like I didn't get too much done!
