Final Phoenix Preparations
Dan..such a happy guy. He's been in a pretty good mood. He is all packed & only wanted my opinion tonight on which pair of dress pants to bring. He really is a big boy now. Self assured, confident & positive he won't look like a geek wearing socks with sandals..he he he
Mary... I'll spare you the details but let's just say that I have taken the responsibility to be prepared for intimacy... you'll understand that later in your lives, but I MUST protect the pride of my socked, sandal wearing tiger by saying it has nothing to do with a little blue pill.He's still a ROCK star.
BIG NEWS!!!I have decided not to bring my laptop!! I have been contemplating whether or not to bring it and made my final decision today after school based on the following:
1) I have ALL units from after break until the end of the year ready to be run off.
b) I will bring my planning book so that I can peek in once in awhile to keep the plan planned.
III We are bringing our new Garmin so my technology fix will be satisfied.
Buster... we are using a different set of luggage than what Dan brings to the shack so he hasn't caught on & isn't anxious. He is all lined up with sitters. Dans brother will let him out Sat. morning & then between Jessica and uncle David he will be well taken care of. Also.. I expressed his anal glands tonight & good thing..they were full. So we won't have to worry about him getting sick.
Dan & Mary based on some sound advice from Steve Kline & Kris Koenig, we will stay the night tomorrow at Holiday Inn Express. For $120 we get a king sized bed, breakfast, free shuttle service and free parking. Can't beat that deal... for sure!
We have a car lined up for rental in Phoenix. The woman who runs the B&B is a retired teacher who loves to garden so it really does sound like a good fit.
Can't wait!! I'll post picts. Won't be back until next Saturday.... SUNSHINE HERE WE COME!!!!
Hope you all have good times whether it be relaxing at home or running a marathon..

Honor's class funny answers.
I definitely need to give more essay ?s to my honor's class. Dan & I were rolling on the floor laughing at some of their answers yesterday.
The day before the test, I gave them this:
There will be one essay question that will require you to write a paragraph in your own words regarding the following statement :
Birds have a very high metabolic rate so need to ingest large amounts of food. In addition birds also need to maintain high levels of oxygen in their bloodstream in order to keep up with this increased rate of cellular respiration.
And the day of:
*** Birds have a high metabolic rate. They need to ingest large quantities of food and maintain high levels of oxygen in order to meet the demands of increased cellular respiration. Other than having a crop, a gizzard & hollow bones, what other adaptations do birds have to help them keep up with this high rate of metabolism?
May I preface this by saying that weeks before they had already been assigned the pages this info was on & also, I pointed that to them the specific pages a few days before.
Here are our faves:
1) "Adaptation birds need to make for their high rate of metabolism are exercise more or alot.
2) I think for them to eat seeds which is healthy would keep up a high metabolism. Eating seeds from plants would do good for the health.
3) ........ and wings to have a better view of things.
4) To get the demands of exercise daily so they can eat more, get enough sleep for energy stored up in the body.
The answer I was looking for was to reference their highly specialized respiratory system that ensures a constant, highly concentrated supply of O2 & also by me eliminating crop, a gizzard & hollow bones from their response left the door open to include feathers in their answers.
I had 3- 4 kids who will get full credit & 8- 10 partial. Now........ formative assessment, summative assessment.... point value.... the laughter has to stop for just a bit:)
