nyukcubed: owen and newt, newt and owen
http://nyukcubed.blogspot.com/2009/04/owen-and-newt-newt-and-owen.html
Saturday, April 25, 2009. Owen and newt, newt and owen. You see these two guys? I think they look alike. The one on the right is Newt Gingrich. The man on the left is Owen Gingerich. Yep - he has an extra 'e' in his last name. The kids think we're crazy, anyway, so they paid no attention to us. But we do find out stuff. And now I'm wondering if, perhaps, Newt is related to my brother-in-law? We've known that Newt was born a McPherson- but we categorically deny any connection! Home based business reviews.

http://nyukcubed.blogspot.com/2009/04/spring-has-sprung-grass-is-riz-and-i.html
Monday, April 27, 2009. Spring has sprung, the grass is riz, and I know where some birdies is. A few weeks ago, some wrens built this nest in a discarded car trash can in our garage. For several days, the two birds flew out of the garage each morning as I raised the door to leave for work, and came back every evening. After a week or so, I noticed there were 4-5 little eggs in the nest. Over our cars. He leaves gifts for us. Should get really interesting when the eggs hatch. To be continued. View my comp...

nyukcubed: George Washington slept here...
http://nyukcubed.blogspot.com/2009/04/george-washington-slept-here.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2009. George Washington slept here. For a change, I wore my hair like this to work today:. As she walked past me in the hall (where I was doing my requisite hall duty between classes), one of my students said "Wow, Mrs. Lowe - from down the hall, I thought you were George Washington! Evidently, it doesn't pay to take hair risks in Stanardsville, VA. Oh, and just for giggles - who would have french braided my hair, if I were George? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

nyukcubed: December 2008
http://nyukcubed.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 19, 2008. On Santa hats and Hannukah garland. Today is the last day of school before the holiday break. Yesterday, during the morning announcements the head ptb proclaimed today as 'Santa Hat Day.' So there would be no confusion, the student video announcements did a little piece on what constitutes a santa hat and what didn't. Basically, they were making sure students understood that camo baseball caps did not qualify as santa hats. Wrong - so wrong. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. Wednesda...

Friday, December 04, 2009. Been a long time. Wow - just remembered tonight that I still had this blog! After school, I was waiting in the hall for the teacher who owned the hammer - wanting to give it back to her before it got lost on my desk. The head PTB came by, and the following conversation took place:. HPTB: Lookin' dangerous there, Lowe. Me: No worries - just used it to crack a geode today. I duck into my class to retrieve the geode to show him). HPTB: Very cool. I hope you used goggles. Click on ...

Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Teach your children well. Conversation between teacher (me) and 2 students today in Earth Science class:. Teacher: Who can remember the names of the moons of Mars? Student 1 (frantically waving hand): Fabio and Deimos! Teacher (trying not to pee pants): Not Fabio! He's the guy who got hit in the face by a goose on the roller coaster at Busch Gardens. Student 2: Did he really get hit in the face by a goose? Student 2 (shaking head dolefully): That's gotta suck. Mom worries that ...

nyukcubed: February 2009
http://nyukcubed.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 19, 2009. Overheard in the hall. The Catholics HATE the Amish. They, like, feud and shoot each other.". I didn't even know the Catholics knew the Amish. It creates such wonderful scenes in my mind - men in white collars and big hats chasing around after men in white shirts and big hats . Wait wait. oh.my.God. Friday, February 13, 2009. And no - I never turn on Channel One in this class. Friday, February 06, 2009. Grandma, why do you have that tattoo? Here's the back story: She grew up ...

nyukcubed: Break -- out
http://nyukcubed.blogspot.com/2009/04/break-out.html
Sunday, April 12, 2009. Tomorrow is the last day of my Spring Break. A week ago, I had all sorts of plans and a 'To Do' list. Today, I can't even find the list. I always do this to myself - try to rearrange and reorganize my life in the space of 7-10 days. It never happens, don't know why I try. What did I accomplish? Oh, what the hell. 41 school days left. OK - I feel better about going back to work now. I can do 41 days standing on my head. After all, I've already done 139! Virginia, United States.

nyukcubed: March 2008
http://nyukcubed.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 11, 2008. We give our 3rd nine-week tests next week. I start reviewing for my test tomorrow (the test is next Thursday.) I've been teaching my butt off for the last 6 months, and we're down to one nine-week term before my students have to take an SOL. Things that make me go " AAARRRGGGHHH. This morning, right after homeroom, the head ptb. Comes up to me in the hall and says, "I have to talk to you." What does he want to talk about? Do you use technology? Do you contact parents? For nonfict...

nyukcubed: July 2008
http://nyukcubed.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 10, 2008. Here's what it looks like in the back:. Not attractive. So - I'm getting a hair cut, in about 10 minutes. Insert Jeopardy Music here.). OK, I'm back. And here's the result:. It doesn't look too different in the front, but you can see from the back picture that I lost about 3 inches in length. This is just air-dried, no styling to speak of, other than finger combing. So, I guess I'm out of the 'grow my hair to my ass' phase. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Virginia, United States.
