Interview night
Today was my first experience with real parent-teacher interviews. Prior to this, we've had interviews at the kids' nursery school, and with kindergarten teachers. But those were more about social development and behaviour than real academic performance. Grade One is a different … [Read more...]
Brown Bag Turkey and a Trip to the Farmer’s Market
I finally downloaded some pictures from Thanksgiving. Here's my twenty-pound turkey in all it's glistening, savoury glory: I prepared the turkey in a brown bag. It's absolutely no-fail to the extreme. It's my ninth year doing this, and every single year, the bird is impeccably … [Read more...]
