ginger - hi, donna, are you a candidate?
Donna - Hi Ginger, yes I am
Kelly M - Hi folks!
Donna - currently working on rewriting my Entry1
Donna - Hi Kelly!
ginger - hi, teach2 and HI MAMA KELLY!!!
Kelly M - How is everybody today?
Kelly M - Hi Susan! How's it going?
Donna - confused and rewriting!
Susan (NC) - Wow- a lot of people are here already! Hope everyone is doing great!
Kelly M - Donna - when is your due date?
ginger - i made a last minute decision to only redo my assessment of science this year
Susan (NC) - Just taking a break from my writing and wanted to see what everyone else is up to?
Kelly M - Ginger - you mean at the AC?
Donna - April 15, but I have no usable videos yet!
ginger - yep, that's it
Kelly M - Donna - keep taping EVERYTHING! You never know when a great video is going to just happen!
Donna - ginger, you must have been REALLY close
ginger - i am most likely moving to CA this summer, and just couldn't stand any more stress
Kelly M - Ginger - when will you test? And Susan...how's the writing going?
Susan (NC) - Just taped a great lesson last week...........but no sound!
ginger - and i did soooo poorly on the AC, that I am sure I can make up the 2 tiny points i need
Donna - I am taping constantly, but was not real happy with my science video
Kelly M - Ginger - isn't your sister out there? Will you be closer to her?
ginger - oh, susyes, kelly, that's why i'm going. sweet of you to remember
Susan (NC) - So it is retaping on Monday but they are predicting more SNOW!
Kelly M - Ginger - does the scoring guide help?
ginger - susan, i did that, too, and it was my favorite lesson!!!
Kelly M - Susan - don't you just love it! Those bugs are always creeping around! You guys have had a bad winter!
MJ - Hi everyone!
Kelly M - Hi MJ - how are you today?
Donna - is it OK to retapre a lesson already done? I think my kids have all the "Messing around" out of their system now
ginger - well, i guess, but it just occured to me that my life would be so much simpler if i just redid the AC........ not too hard
MJ - pretty good. I've been working on entry 1
ginger - donna, you can, but it will never be the same
Donna - so I guess I will just keep taping lessons that will follow
Susan (NC) - We have had more snow this year than the last 3 winters combined! Great for being off but when the "perfect" video is not happened; you can't write about much
Kelly M - Donna - you can usually tell - the kids give it away when it's not something fresh. You'd probably be better off to go in a new direction....you can use the same topic...just expand it!
Kelly M - Now, now, Susan! You KNOW there is NO perfect video! LOL
ginger - yes, donna, listen to kelly. i just figured out how to expand the unit a bit more, and kept going
Donna - me too MJ. trying to divide all my info between the 2 sections
MJ - Susan, I'm from NC too. I know wha tyou mean. I need to be atr school!
Susan (NC) - Yes, Kelly but I can dream, can't I LOL!!
ginger - and if they mess around, they must be normal kids, so don't get too frustrated
Donna - I will continue on sink/float. we still have many questions to explore
ginger - that is such a fun unit, donna
Donna - yes, ginger-but they were making lollipops with the atraws and clay during sink/float activities
MJ - I'm having trouble deciding how specific to make my literacy questions? Any ideas?
Kelly M - Donna - can you 'lead' them toward trying to figure out how to make a 'sinker' float....and a 'floater' sink? My kids are doing that right now and having a ball!
Donna - we are going to get into density of liquids
ginger - sorry, donna......could you show them the video even without the sound and discuss what kind of behavior they think would work better?
Donna - we started on that yesterday kelly. they would not get past what they were doing to test new ideas
Susan (NC) - I thought about taping another lesson but tying in what the kids said before, could you say, "Remember when so & so said............" would that work?
Kelly M - And welcome to Adrienne and Marci!
Donna - good idea ginger!!
ginger - donna, have you done the dancing raisins experiment?
AdrienneHC - Hello all
Marci - thank you I'm taking a break from typing entry 2
Kelly M - Susan - sure!
Donna - no. but think I will use that to get them started
tmw1 - Hello! Trying to type up my literact entry but I am running out of room.
Kelly M - Hi there becca! glad to see you're still upright! Packing yet?
AdrienneHC - I am just about finished. Just finished the science video but would liek to share it with you all and get feedback
Kelly M - Hi Chris - welcome!
Susan (NC) - Ok - that is what I'll do..........if my sanity lasts a bit longer!
Chris - Good evening, just being nosey
Marci - I posted 2 questions to the group so I don't want to be redundant by asking again here unless that is ok with everyone
MJ - Ive been working on my literacy entry too and it's too long.
ginger - how much do you have to cut out mj and tmwl?
Susan (NC) - Ask away Marci!
tmw1 - I don't see how in the world I am giong to write up both students in 13 pages.
ginger - marce, do it again
AdrienneHC - In the video we review magnetism and what that means the chldren tellme and I help clarify and then they are guven items to experiment with their bar magnets and I go around tio each group and ask questions and provide further questions to get themthinking.
Kelly M - Marci - feel free to pose any question here! Then you can make use of the feedback from both places!
Marci - for instructional materials, can I include photos from different time sequences in the unit?
AdrienneHC - Marci I was told yes by National boards
ginger - yes, instructional materials don't just have to be from the video
AdrienneHC - I can't remember how many they said per page
MJ - I have been discussing one child and I've already taken four pages. I wanted to keep it to 3.
AdrienneHC - what do you guys think about my blurb about my video
tmw1 - Same here.
ginger - mj, have you measured your margins?
Kelly M - Hi Terri - welcome!
Marci - Unit is taditions around the world, featured area is Chinese New Year. One photo is a random acts of kindnesses bulletin board when we determined many cultures belive in respect and kindness as part of their ttraditions and the other photo is from the making of dragons for a parade.
tmw1 - I am planning to go to scence next. I can't decide between sink and float or the 5 senses.
AdrienneHC - That sounds like it would make a great photo
ginger - adrienne, i'm not sure i see the inquiry, so i'm not sure how to comment
Terri/K/SC - Adrienne, I like the sound of your science video. Am just starting to work on my science write up.
tmw1 - Is there a specific way we have to number our pages in each entry?
AdrienneHC - to me the inquiry occurs when they are investigating and asking questions about what they want to find out
MJ - I posed 6 questions which may be too many. Yes, I think my margins are a little less than 1 inch, actually.
Kelly M - Roya just sent me her space saving tips that were shared at the NC workshop last week (or a couple of weeks ago!). I'm going to be uploading them into the files - hopefully tonight....but at least by tomorrow! Also, I think there are already lists of space saving tips in the files. Try looking at a folder that says something about 'general advice' under the new generation.
AdrienneHC - what do you think ginger?
ginger - yes, that would be inquiry if they are asking questions. I think you want to video them finding out the answer to their questions,
Donna - would thr magnets be more inquiry based if they questioned magnets working through different materials and tested their ideas?
Marci - also which would be a more powerful instructional material? A listing of the books, videos, guest speakers, etc. or the paper I created for the students showing the chinese symbols for english words that we used on both our dragons and red lucky envelopes?
MJ - Thanks! I wish I had gone to that workshop. Where was it?
ginger - ok, mj, did you try only putting one space between sentences and indenting only 2 spaces?
AdrienneHC - I am going to be doing that next with testing different materials
ginger - yes, i think so donna
Chris - Unfortunately yes, telecom would want another £40 per month to install another, can't wait for broad band
Donna - if they geberate the list/questions I would think that is inquiry
MJ - No, Ginger, I 'll try that. Thanks!
Kelly M - MJ - I'm not sure where it was - I'm not from there! Marci - which materials shows more about what you did with the children?
Chris - oops that should have gone via messenger
ginger - can they bring some supplies to test or gather them from around the room, and can you have them hypothesize about what will happen?
ginger - mj, also you can write the kid's name once, then call them by their first letter. instead of brian, write b_
Marci - that's my problem. We used the books, etc. to learn about the culture and then used the symbols to create authentic look to our work.
Donna - what would be a math connection to teasting magnetism through different materials?
MJ - Great!
tmw1 - I am trying to decide which I can incorporate more math into for the science entry.
Donna - would a graph be enough math?
Kelly M - Hi staci - welcome!
ginger - that'
Kelly M - oops...and hi to Nita, too!
Marci - My problem I think is the unit took on a life of its own and just kept expanding. It was great for me and the students but harder for me to write up for NB
tmw1 - I feel that both sink and float and the 5 senses would be fun to do.
staci - Hi
tmw1 - Hello staci
ginger - that's all i had, donna, but you will also be using math words, like more, less, greater, stronger, you can create a way to record results
Marci - sorry to be injecting my ss questions in your science conversation
tmw1 - My students have enjoyed both in the past.
Kelly M - Marci - but they love for you to let the students change the direction if that's where their interests lie!
Nita - Donna - What about sorting and classifying the materials- that would bring in an algebraic component. Hi back Kelly M.
AdrienneHC - I got kicked off did anyone say anything else about theinqiry?
tmw1 - Hello adriennehc
Terri/K/SC - tmw1, I did some sink and float that was good but didn't have any technology.....what are you doing to incorporate that?
staci - I am working on enty 3. I did inquiry with magnets and prediction also
Kelly M - BECCA - WOW! I'm not even going to respond to you via private message! I think everyone needs to celebrate when a box gets mailed! Congratulations! You know....very few teachers even attempt this process....and even fewer complete it! You deserve to celebrate!
AdrienneHC - I had saic that I am having them test items through itemslater. How is that more inquiry than testing things that may or may not be magnetic? It is based on the W of our KWL chart
becca - I'm eating a MINI-Chocolate cake right now!
staci - I am having difficulty with integration too
Susan (NC) - OK guys, my break is over - I love reading all the tips and what everyone is busy doing.........keep writing everyone and we will survive!
ginger - becca, great job!!! celebrate....have a bath, a glass of wine, and smile a lot!!!
MJ - Becca, have you mailed your box yet?
staci - tech
Terri/K/SC - Becca...........you deserve a BIG cake!
Lin - Kelly, could you email me the tips you are talking about -- the ones that Roya just sent to you?
Marci - Becca, you're one of my new heroes. was your box due 2/15 or 3/15?
tmw1 - Does the technology have to be shown in the video?
becca - 2/15
Marci - I'm due 3/15 and can't imagine having it all done.
staci - Also, about entry 3...when you are answering the questions on the unit
Kelly M - Lin - I'll be uploading them to the files later this evening - or at least by tomorrow. I'll post to the ring when I get it done!
Terri/K/SC - I don't think it does, the technology that is
ginger - i dont' think so, tmwl'
staci - sorry didn't finish
becca - I was going to mail it MOnday but I finally said enough was enough. When I got home I kept looking at my bound copy and found a mistake. At that point my boyfriend took it and hid it form me
Nita - Marci- Me, either! It's so overwhelming sometimes.
Lin - Thanks
tmw1 - Can I consider using the over head projector as my technology?
Marci - Becca, did you send overnight and return receipt. or am I the only paranoid one?
Terri/K/SC - the prompt just says how have you chosen to integrate tech. into this learning sequence
staci - are you suppose to tell specifics on each lesson if so where do you do that?
Kelly M - tmw - I believe you can count that! It's any tool.....and that would be a tool!
becca - I was up till 12/1 every night the last two weeks....I sent it Fed EX with the tracking but I insured it for 2300
MJ - The overhead is considered technology
tmw1 - No, Marci, my box is due 4/15 and I plan on sending it overnight and receipt return
ginger - it seems impossible at times. When i reread my entry after the results came in NOvember, i realized that i was so hasty in putting the literacy entry together that i had left out the GOALS i had for one kid..........duh!!
Lin - Since I am new at this -- what do you mean "post to the ring"? How do I get it from there?
MJ - When are you going to mail your box tmw1?
Kelly M - Staci - I believe there is a specific place that asks about what you did to lead up to the featured lesson...and what followed. I don't have directions right here. Read them carefully. It's there!
ginger - but you will make it. Do the best you can to answer the questions....and think of this as a two or three year process
Marci - any other ideas on my instructional materials for entry 2? sorry for asking again.
tmw1 - Hopefully, the first of April.
Donna - I am due 4/15 and hope to mail off by 4/1 just to be safe
Terri/K/SC - tmw, can I ask how you used overhead?
ginger - sorry, marci, try one more time.
Marci - not that I didn't appreciate your answer Kelly
MJ - Mine is due 4/15 and I was planning to send it 4/8 from NC. Think that will be all right?
becca - I though I would mail my the first but the few extra days were great. I have the receipt with the number and can look up where it is every step of the wasy!
tmw1 - I haven't planned everything out yet.
tmw1 - I still can't decide between this unit and the 5 senses
Marci - which would be more powerful? making a list of the resources I used to teach about Chinese New Year such as videos, books, guest speaker, field trip or using a paper I created for the students of chinese symbols for english words so that our dragons and other creations would look more authentic?
tmw1 - Could a weighing scale be considered a technology tool?
becca - I had my students write about their learning and then scanned them into a powerpoint book. I was able to show 6 slide in one instrucitonal material that way. Plus the kids thought the book was greats
staci - thanks kelly, I do see that, so its kind of "in general"...just the before and after not the detailed specifics of each lesson? the directions can be confusing!!
Kelly M - Lin - are you a member of our mailring? If not, you can find it by going to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EC_GEN/ . You can subscribe there. After you subscribe, you'll get a message from me detailing how to access files, etc.
ginger - tmwl, have you tried doing a kwl with both ideas and see which seems to have more qustions that you think the kids could investigate without you being too involved?
Lin - Be very careful when you finish with your box. I was told that someone had their car stolen with their box in the car. They had stopped at a store just for a moment when it happened
Donna - Marci, I am not writing on this entry yet-why can't you include all your resources?
Marci - becca, I have powerpoint at school, can you email off the ring to tell me how to put it into a book to show 6 slides. The more pictures I can use the better.
ginger - marci, i like your symbols idea, but if you used any kind of activity that has kids writing on it, that is good, too. Did they use a worksheet or anything that you would be able to copy one kids? Did you do a kwl you could photo or type up?
Marci - Donna, I have too many good instructional materials and am having trouble limiting to 4
MJ - I wqs told that anything you use to teach is considered technology.
tmw1 - For sink and float, could talking about what shapes the students could mold clay into and doing a class graph on it be enough math integration?
ginger - what grade tmwl?
tmw1 - to make it sink or float
tmw1 - first
Donna - tmwl-or let them count how many bears would float on their boat? graph and compare?
Terri/K/SC - tmw, will you be sorting sink and float items? That is math connection and could be graphed later.
Kelly M - tmw - be sure that the math you use is intregal to the learning the science concept....not just something stuck in to include math. So ask yourself...did using this math help them to better understand the science concept?
Marci - I'm using I think 1) venn diagram from student showing new years in US vs. chinese new year 2) pictures from throughout the unit 3) a dragon drawing from out of the video from a student and now have to decide what to use for #4
ginger - marci, did you do making aluminum foil boats? They design a shape, and hypohtesizr how many pennies it will hold and still float. Thats an easy math one.
Kelly M - Hi dusty - welcome!
dustyFL - FLORIDA teachers looking for mentors...let me know.
Terri/K/SC - We made foil boats and used teddy bear counters. Also weighed bears. More math.
tmw1 - I figured that the students could experiment with molding pieces of clay into various shapes to see which ones sink and which ones float,
ginger - those sound good, marci. maybe your list of chinese symbols would round it out. Do the kids try to reproduce the symbols on the paper?
Marci - Ginger, yes they used the symbols on both their dragon costumes and on the lucky red envelopes we made
tmw1 - I could also go into if the students molded the clay into boats whether or not it would make a difference if both ends of the boat were symmetrical.
Kelly M - tmw - but does molding them into shapes (using shapes as the math integration) make a difference in understanding the science concept? I'm afraid I'm not seeing the connection....
Marci - but not on that paper. the paper is 65 different symbols that they carried around when making their dragons
ginger - cool, if you show that on something, then your symbols list should be just the cup of tea!
ginger - thakns, kelly, that's what i was trying to say, but couldn'
ginger - marci, if you explain it in your write up, you'll be fine
ginger - remember that you are the only one to make final decisions
Terri/K/SC - Kelly. would it work if the math connection was not the shapes but how many bears/pennies the boat held?
tmw1 - well, if they could see what made certain shapes sink or float?
Marci - I know but the second guessing is getting to me. My kids and I loved this unit and I want to do it justice.
Kelly M - Terri - I think that sounds more like a math connection....
Marci - thanks for the advice
tmw1 - like the size or symmetry of the shape
ginger - marci, we all second guess ourselves all the time. hang in there. Work on something else for a day or so and then come back to it. Maybe it will jump out at you
tmw1 - I am really struggling with this
Kelly M - tmw - explain a little more what you mean about 'could see what made certain shapes sink or float'....I'm not getting it. The shape of something (as in square, circle, etc.) basically has nothing to do with whether or not it will sink .....
ginger - gotta go. have a great weekend, and don't let it get to you. this is a terrifying, tremendously wonderful process.
staci - The video for entry 2 should show ss concept, social skill, and art integration in the one lesson?
Marci - thanks Ginger
Kelly M - tmw - I can see the difference in making a boat with curved up edges or one that is flat....but that's not really a math connection.
Kelly M - bye ginger!
Kelly M - staci - yes. I know it sounds incredibly difficult, but keep working on it. It will come!
Donna - my class will be visiting the local senior center. we will prepare a short program of songs and art (cards) for them. Is this a good start for a social studies entry?
Terri/K/SC - staci, that is my understanding
tmw1 - not necessarily shapes like circles or squares, more of different shapes of boats. Guess I must be way off here
MJ - Can anyone clarify in entry 1 what they mean by the relevant features of each child's developing abilities?
Kelly M - Donna - yes.....think about what the ss concept is. That's going to lead the art.....and then the community goal can be something that fits with the other two.
staci - MJ I am struggling with all of the different ways things are worded also!
tmw1 - If we did the boats with clay, could I then go into how many pennies or what ever it could hold is that more on track
becca - The more you type and read type and read the clearer the directions will become
Kelly M - tmw = I'm not sure that varying shapes outside of those basic ones is a math concept for primary grades.....check your district or state standards.
Marci - could you also try it with, dimes, nickels, quarters and tie in the weight of the coins?
Kelly M - tmw - yes...but remember, it is important that it be inquiry....so the kids need to come up with their questions....
tmw1 - That's more of where I was headed with it Marci thanks
Marci - I haven't quite decided on my science yet but I may do sink and float and that was one of the ways I thought I would tie in math
tmw1 - Not sure if I will make it through all of this
Kelly M - well, saints be praised! Hi there, sinetag! How are you?
Kelly M - tmw - keep asking! You'll make it!
sinetag - still alive
MJ - Are relevant features new skills that the student has learned?
staci - this one is bugging me...in entry 3 the itlized part of question 1 says "What theme...during this featured period of insturction?" then, the explanation underneath says "featured learning sequence" Am I suppose to be focsing on the videotaped lesson or the overall unit?
Terri/K/SC - MJ, I think they mean things like does she speak in complete sentences, know letters/sounds,,,,,,,,,,,anyone else have thoughts on this?
Marci - in the planning and instructions for entry 2 it says address the following questions. Can I let them all kind of run into one another rather than address them separately? Everything goes together and I wanted to just write it. Will assessors be able to pull out the answers to the questions or do I have to address each one systematically?
tmw1 - That is my understanding of it
Kelly M - Marci - assessors are trained to life evidence wherever they find it. I'd try to make it as straight=forward as possible, though!
Terri/K/SC - Yikes, got to get ready for school sweetheart dance. Have to take up tickets at the door. Good luck everyone.
tmw1 - Thanks, obviously I need it. you too!
Donna - Am I right? featured period is the video and featured sequence is the overall lessons in the unit?
tmw1 - mean good luck to you too
MJ - that's what I thought
Marci - Donna, I think that is right but I haven't struggled yet with that particular entry
Kelly M - Donna - sounds right. There were several messages this week on the mailring discussing that. Check back over those messages.
tmw1 - Guess I had better get back to typing. Thanks for the advice. Can tell I have some rethinking to do. Have a great weekend everyone!
Donna - That is probably where I got my info from! I read my mailring religiously!
MJ - Thanks Terri! I'm going to keep thinking about relevant features.
Marci - like an obsession for me to read everything on the ring
MJ - me too,Marci! It really helps!
Kelly M - Marci - LOL....yep, I know what you mean. I read every single message, too!...although sometimes I'm WAY far behind!
tmw1 - bye
Marci - I would be completely lost without it.
Donna - marci.I even hate to delete any of them-might need something from a mailing!
becca - Donna have you made folders?
Marci - You should see my filing cabinet, only about 600 messages in it right now
becca - I have one foe AC general SS science lit etc..encouragement
staci - I did see some of those, Kelly...I didn't get a consenus yet on the mailring? Seems like alot of different answers...the mailring advice was that both meant the entire unit ?
Donna - yes, color coded folders for each entry with tons of notes I got from the ring!
becca - I save key ones and would reread them. Eventually as the info becomes ingrained in me I would delete messages
Marci - I switched to the computer file cabinet so I can access them quickly. I guess I have 6 different folders with anything and everything from the ring posted into a folder
Donna - I have my own rolling file cabinet full of stuff
Kelly M - staci - I read them the other night and don't remember.....but I didn't realize there was conflicting advice. Here's what I think. SOMEWHERE you need to address the whole unit..and SOMEWHERE you need to address the particular lesson(s) you're writing about - or that you videotaped. If they are not in the 'right' order it's no big deal. Assessors are trained to lift evidence wherever it is. Mixing up little words like that is not going to goof up your score as long as you address both somewhere! I wouldn't fret over it!
Marci - It's nice to go back and read some I saved from early on and realize that I have that ingrained in me as Becca said. Makes me feel like this process is actually working.
Donna - every time my friend and I meet to work on our portfolio, I say "I have a note about that!"
Marci - Even if I don't pass the first time, although I pray I will, I have learned so much from this process and can really see the difference in some of my teaching.
Lin - Be very careful when you finish with your box. I was told that someone had their car stolen with their box in the car. They had stopped at a store just for a moment when it happened
Marci - how awful, I hope she had copies of everything
Donna - me too marci. It changes the way you teach and look at things!
Kelly M - Hi Pecos...welcome.
Pecos - Y'all are so interesting...........mind if I ask, what are you discussing
staci - thanks, Kelly..that is a relief...I feel like I've got solid things happening in my room, but that I am not going to showcase them in a way that NB wants...nice to know they'll be looking for the evidence!!! THANKS!
Donna - I have made several copies of everything and have a set at school and 2 at home in different places
Marci - I used to be a bit afraid of teaching science especially and also some social studies, didn't think I knew enough. Concentrated on language, writing and math. I am much more well rounded as a teacher and more confident in those other areas.
staci - sorry...hit the wrong button
MJ - When will the scores from this year be released? Just curious!
Donna - I think end of Nov or first of Dec?
Marci - I think we wait until NOvember, don't we?
Pecos - Is this a certain grade level? A certain state?
sinetag - no doubt late november/early december
Kelly M - Pecos - this is a meeting of people involved with the Early Childhood/Generalist certificate area for National Board for Professional Teaching Standards......
Marci - Pecos, we are from all over and different grades. we were talking about sink and float science earlier and social studies instructional materials. now nothing in particular, I think
Pecos - Great, y'all have a great time............back to my third grade lesson plans.
staci - Kelly, you are certified, right?
MJ - I will feel like I'm an accomplished teacher just by completing this process and mailing my box.
sinetag - you kidding? she's certifiable!
Kelly M - staci - yes
staci - thought so
Kelly M - okay sinetag - you're not supposed to let them know that!
sinetag - it's writ large all over you
Kelly M - MJ - like I said to becca - that IS an accomplishment that very few teachers ever achieve...just completing the process!
Kelly M - sinetag - anything written on me would have to be large to be seen!
Donna - My class is taking part in an internet activity called Project Groundhog. It includes classes from all over the country. We will be using map skills to locate our team members and sending valentines etc to them. Can this be used for SS entry?
sinetag - alright - I'm heading out of here
sinetag - funny
sinetag - kelly - don't forget august 24
Kelly M - Donna - come up with goals for ss/arts and sure! You can use it!
Kelly M - sinetag -it's in my date book already!...actually I'm coming to San Francisco Feb. 21....
sinetag - are you coming down to socal?
staci - Well, back to writing...thanks for the encouragement all! Bye, for now!
Donna - guess I'd better go write some more too. Thanks for all the help!
Marci - I guess I can't procrastinate much longer either. I must get back to writing. Thanks for all the valuable advice.
MJ - I've got to go too. Thanks everyone!
Kelly M - bye staci - keep writing! sinetag - I'm going to see Ryan (my son) who is working on a show there...he's the lighting designer...and my sister lives across the bay in the hills of Oakland....
becca - I think i'll go find a book to read haven't read one in 10 months
becca - Bye
sinetag - susan just came back from oakland last night - we're going to Vegas tomorrow
Kelly M - Looks like everyone is going! Hey becca - enjoy!
becca - Thnaks Kelly
sinetag - see ya
Kelly M - sinetag - don't you have to teach Monday?
becca - 9 months of waiting...hmmm....
Kelly M - becca - and mailing it was beginning the delivery now you have to wait out all these months of intense pain to wait for the scores!
Kelly M - hmmm...we scared them all off! Oh well....I'll talk to you later! Have fun in Vegas!
Kelly M - I need to go too....I'm at school and need to get some work done!
