more movin'

rita & me after our first day of moving
as soon as we decided to move in, rita and i moved our beds, couches, and table.  we barely had anything except for those things - i still had to go back to the house to shower!  but yah, this was our house in all it’s glory, right before the mad rush of this week, in which i’ve been staying up past midnight every day, using that time to empty, clean, purge, and vacate the old house.  it’s a large process when you have a four-bedroom house and 2 1/2 tenants… but today it will all be over!  this is the very last day we own the house… so now that i’m off work, i’m headed on over to move the remains… *sigh*

maria's!

rod and gary chowing at maria's
hahaha… what better way to start off my blog than to post a pic from my favorite restaurant, maria’s =) this was from a few weeks ago when kat was back in town and she met up with me, rita, janet, rod, and gary over there.  they’re so focused on eating it’s funny… sure looks like they’d take a good nap after that meal!

walkin with a rope


last week, we had a school-wide assembly for peace day, including all the jr high students from the farm school and all the little ones attending the montessori in redlands.  while we were walking to the assembly, i gasped when i saw the kids - LOOK!  HOW FUNNY!!!  THEY’RE ALL TIED UP!!!  then someone explained it to me, and i thought it was really cute the way they walked the kids over - what they do is have a rope with loops in it, and the students put their hands through the loop.  they can hold the rope, or just have their hand there, suspended by the loop in the rope, and they all walk together.  not once did i see any of the kids take off in another direction - they were all guided by this rope. it didn’t necessarily pull anyone along, i think it just slowly guided them.  they even had the 18-month-olds walking like this too!  it was such a simple trick, but it worked to keep all the students together.  amazingness…

picasso

nicole, chris, ellie, & courtney pose as a picasso painting
so today was field trip friday, and i planned a digital photo scavenger hunt for my students.  one of the items on the scavenger hunt list was to recreate a famous piece of art, and some of the students posed as “the thinker” while wearing halloween costumes in the middle of walmart (2 other items they needed to cross off their list).  however, i think this is my favorite pic of all the ones submitted - these four decided to re-create a picasso painting.

aren’t my students cool?

spider mom

spider & egg sac
when cleaning out my classroom before school began, i found this nice little surprise in the room divider between my room and the bio-kim’s classroom…

a spider mom and her egg-sac she was so lovingly guarding!

but, for the safety of my students (and my sanity!), i made the guys take the egg sac outside and destroy it.  i know, i know, i’m mean, i kill parts of nature… but hey, y’know, spiders are poisonous in these here parts, and i don’t wanna risk it!  it turned out to be a black widow, by the way, according to the guys, since i wouldn’t go close to that thing…

i never thought i’d be a wimp about stuff like this, but it turns out i am.  KILL ALL SPIDERS!  hey, when you live amongst black widows and brown recluse spiders (yup, our old house had it’s fair share of both types...), you start getting a little defensive and a little less protective of nature.
