Last Trash

Squeezed in a 'Bay Tanner' mystery. I like reading them because Bay Tanner the main character lives on Hilton Head. A bad cop novel called Vigilante. Having a great friend visit and lazing around by the pool my last few days before heading back to work on Monday.

Out with the old and in with the OLDER

This week is back to school brain. Started poking around in my Words Their Way book which I love. Our district adopted a new literacy curriculum (hmmm all the mucky mucks who wanted it have now left for jobs else where). This is not program our school wanted. We had Rigby years before but the touted as all new program has arrived. Not only is it the exact same program. Many of the big books and leveled texts are exactly the same as the ones sent to the Reading Resource Library from the old kits. What a sad WASTE of money! Buying something we already own. Blah to those not in the classroom and not listening to their teachers.
