possible RIF notice

Mar 31, 2017

Hi all, I was recently hired in October in a Kindergarten position and so far I'm loving it! Well today my principal gave me and the other kindergarten teacher a form asking us to write down other locations we are willing to go if there is a possible RIF. Is this common or is this a sign of things to come. Please help as I'm kinda anxious now.

Betty Ann It sounds to me like you are in good shape and will have a teaching job in your district in the fall. It might not be kindergarten and it might not be in the same building, but-it might.

To find out more, you need to talk with people in YOUR district. The principal would probably be open to a conversation with you. Tell your principal that...See More

Anyone else use

by coconut oil?

Mar 28, 2017

I have used it for a few years mainly because it gives me energy. But I am learning a lot of good things about the oil and believe it would be helpful to my husband who has had brain cancer and may be at risk for Alzheimer's-- there is a lot of info out there from people saying it has helped their elderly parents. However, I can't get it into hubby...See More

celijo Does it matter what brand of coconut oil? Perhaps a better quality brand might be less noticeable to your husband.

Can you also inject the coconut oil into some of his favorite types of fruit?

EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Friday

by Bev-MI

Mar 31, 2017

6,834 steps, so far today. No formal workout. WW weight in=-1.8# Whoo-hoo! 5 more # to goal. It is on the higher end of the range, but 113# (lower end) is unrealistic!!! Maybe in jr. high. lol

Have a great weekend. We are hoping the snow on the ground will be gone tomorrow!!

Keep walkin'! (((roll call...guys and gals)))

Elaine/ret/IN Bev, way to go on WW weigh-in. Be careful--Twiggy's not in style these days--ha! No ground snow would be another bonus.

Rain this a.m. Cool in the afternoon. Back to pulling the hood up. 8701 steps, first to the library and then with SIL. Great day for walking. Like every day. Almost.

No rain up here, yet. It is very cold out, so we are expecting freezing rain/snow tonight.

11,398 steps with Zumba and 3 miles hall walking this morning.

Getting close to WW goal weight! I can do this...I can do this!

To all my fellow teachers! I was looking for teacher discounts online and ended up finding an organization called National Public Employee Alliance and they give free professional liability insurance and tons of discounts specifically for teachers. It helps that they are also way cheaper to join.
