So Much for Consistency

I thought I'd be able to keep up with my new blog, but as always, I come back a few weeks later than expected.

I lost my voice yesterday and sounded like I was talking with a frog in my throat for most of the day. Surprisingly, the kids were very sympathetic and pretty much behaved for the entire day. Working with the microphone and using facial expressions/gestures really worked. I have to remember to give them free computer time tomorrow as a reward for good behavior.

One of the things that I want to start working on is a research paper. I know that I always think about doing some kind of project every year, but it never happens. The only reason I wanted to do that is so that the kids don't go blind into researching da Vinci for the Curriculum Fair project. That's another thing I have to worry about doing as well.

I haven't done much Science with them either. I'm also going to be sending home packets for the first time in a while on Monday next week. I have to remember to compile everything that I want to make copies of for Monday so I'm not running around like a crazy person that morning.
