Special Kids Place: June 2010
http://specialkidsplace.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Following seven year old Colin as he explores the world.on his own schedule. Monday, June 21, 2010. Flash cards are fun! Colin likes to use the “Look at Me" Mirror Discovery Cards that Teacher Patty brought today. The mirrored flash cards allow Colin to watch and see himself and they provide a way for him to learn how people and animals communicate. It’s fun to hear Teacher Patty make the animal sounds, and she always tries to engage Colin to imitate them. Thursday, June 3, 2010. 169; Special Kids Place.

Kat Tales: February 2015
http://katsninelives.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 21, 2015. Letter from the North (east) Country. I loaded up like it was the end of the world. It’s the sale prices they hook you on, provided you have the tiny store key fob. Annie’s Soup in the organic aisle, normally an outrageous $6.99, was marked “ 2 for $6”. I mulled over the different kinds and added ten to my cart. My favorite Peet’s Coffee, Major Dickenson’s Blend,. The Globe gave their carriers t-shirts that pronounced the same. I wore mine like a badge of honor. About coping&...

Kat Tales: April 2015
http://katsninelives.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 12, 2015. Last week, everyone I knew was afraid to say the word, even though it was a propitious “First Day of S…” falling on the equinox and all. We skirted around saying “spr…” and “s.” and “s.w”. As Easter arrived, I had to admit that I was still a bit skeptical. You see, the last chunks of s. have almost, but not quite, melted into the aqua filter. The gargantuan four-foot pile surrounding the A Frame and lining Old Wharf Road is no more. Officially, the weekend before spring break is w...

Kat Tales: September 2013
http://katsninelives.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 27, 2013. Resurfacing. just in time for Fall Semester. And me being me, I think more about the cacklers. I've had a lot of doubt, written a TON of pages of academic APA style writing, the origins of which still make no sense to me. I mean, why must we use a tool that the American Psychology Association created for our academic writing on Learning Theory? Please comment - I love to hear from you! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Kat Tales: Long Beach. Wrong Beach.
http://katsninelives.blogspot.com/2005/04/long-beach-wrong-beach_111397784289750462.html
Wednesday, April 20, 2005. Long Beach. Wrong Beach. Forgive me readers; it has been two weeks since my last blog. I have once again, been out of town and as you’ll learn, out of touch. Three weeks ago, when my sister asked me what I was doing in Long Beach, Washington, I pondered the question and replied, “I don’t know”. The signs are everywhere.). Property is selling, and Rhonda is certain I can get a permit to build two houses on the acre she shows me. Holy crap - I’m a developer! 8221; I drop Rhonda o...

Kat Tales: Summer's End
http://katsninelives.blogspot.com/2011/08/summers-end.html
Friday, August 26, 2011. What makes me hesitate to write my annual Ode to Summer is that I’ve been tres. Reflective this vacation, even though we’ve managed to stave off the predicted thunderstorms that were supposed to hit last week, and no one got into a teary brawl as can sometimes happens with Forced Family Fun, a term my friend Robin coined when we were teenagers. We are at the end of our two weeks in Wellfleet, Mass; one town over from Truro. Tide high, a couple of my city companions complain about...

Kat Tales: Initial Thoughts on St. Bernard's Parish
http://katsninelives.blogspot.com/2006/08/initial-thoughts-on-st-bernards-parish.html
Saturday, August 19, 2006. Initial Thoughts on St. Bernard's Parish. In the past twelve months since Katrina hit the coastal towns of Louisiana and Mississippi, news, photos and pleas for donations have inundated the airwaves creating a well-known moniker for one of the century’s most destructive storms. In its wake, several fund raising resources and grass roots orgs have sprung up in support; The Edge’s “Music Rising”, the Common Ground Collective. Will air later this month. Residents who have relocate...

Kat Tales: May 2014
http://katsninelives.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 14, 2014. I feel like I have been in a vortex of anxiety and 10th graders! One of my 7th grade students, Cary, asked me last term what it was like to be a student AND a student teacher. I had to think about that. "Well, Cary", I began, "I've been writing a lot about what types of learners students are. I never thought about that when I was your age. And you know what? Get over it and do the work! Let me just say that summer cannot come fast enough. I am OVER homework! Now that we are at th...

Kat Tales: April's End * Wellfleet, MA
http://katsninelives.blogspot.com/2012/05/aprils-end-wellfleet-ma.html
Tuesday, May 01, 2012. April's End * Wellfleet, MA. For most of April, Route 6 has been devoid of traffic. Signs on old roadside motels sport large V A C A N T letters, although The Wellfleet Motel distinguishes itself with a “Squeaky Clean” promise on its sign. 8221; or “Opening After April 20th". About ten vendors brave the elements at the famous weekend flea market hosted in the Wellfleet Drive-In's parking lot looking at present, like an over sized garage sale. 8221;, but that tactic fails. They ...
