Softly breathes the west wind beside the ruddy forest, / Taking leaf by leaf from the branches where he flies. / Sweetly streams the sunshine, this third day of November, / Through the golden haze of the quiet autumn skies.
I'm a member of the Barnes & Noble digital team. We're hoping to find ways to enhance our summer reading program for teachers and students. I'm hoping to interview educators who are involved in the summer reading programs at their schools and can offer a B&N gift card for 30 minutes of your time.
If you're interested in speaking with me, please message me directly or email me at jkresse@bn.com.
Elaine, you have been one busy gal. Grass...See MoreSo happy to see yesterday's responses. Glad we are still in here and doing what we can. men, sorry to hear about your fall. So scary and painful. Take it easy when you get back on the bike.
Judy, you are right about maintenance. Clearing the house will also be hard. Sending hugs your way.
Elaine, you have been one busy gal. Grass doesn't grow under your feet. Sorry to hear about your brother. The grands will keep you cheered up!
Walked at the senior hall this morning (rainy and cold temps). Happy to report 11,479 steps before lunch! WW tomorrow...fingers crossed for another good weigh in.
Today I walked 6 miles with a fr...See MoreI'm so glad you both posted. I'm still here! I'm still walking every day, some days more than others. I'm still doing well on my weight, but it seems like maintainance is just as hard as losing.
I'm emptying out my house and it will go on the market in March. Lots of work to do on it before then.
Bev, cheers on your great weigh-in; your effort is being rewarded. Men, hope your bruises go away soon, without going yellow! Judy, I've been helping my sister pack these past days: such emotion, so many decisions, such muscle work, and then, the selling process. Hugs.
We've been on the road for 2 weeks. I only reached 10,000 steps 3 times. Lots of sitting--in the car, visiting family, etc. My brother is now living in the nursing home, and that sucks.
On the brighter side, we had a day and a half with the grandson. My favorite DGS quote: (After 1/2 hour at a totally chaotic Halloween party with kids everywhere!) his mom asked what he wanted to do. He sighed and said, "I just want to go home and see Daddy and Grandpa." Love that little 2-year-old.
And, we've spent the last 2 days chasing waterfalls in 3 states. Tomorrow, we go home.
We have been given funding from the DFE to deliver FREE MFL training, please see website for information http://www.ltsa.org.uk/GCSE-Spanish-Language-Training-Programme/ . I hope you will be interested in joining either our Spanish or French cohort. Please forward on this opportunity to anyone who will be interested.
I'm currently writing a course for my school that will be a Film as Literature course. Was just wondering if anyone else has a course like that at their school, or teaches a class like that? If so, do you have a textbook recommendation for me? Thanks
NovelWe have Film Studies, which is very similar...but no text book, sorry. We just teach what is needed by the syllabus and ty to adapt previous resources from previous years to save some time - doesn't always work...but the students do love the course and it is exhilerating to teach.
Those seemingly interminable dark walks between houses, long before street-lit safety became an issue, were more adrenalizing than the mountains of candy filling the sack.
