For Tuesday, January 17, 2012
Today I give thanks for snow days... because, I admit, I am a BC chicken shit when it comes to driving in the snow. It's not the snow that terrifies me but the drivers of the summer tired minivans. I am also thankful that I no longer work for a school district which still required teachers to come to school on snow days... THAT I did not get.
We have just finished Day 2 of snow days... and probably be in for one more. This lead me to develop a home school curriculum to ensure that my child is not missing out on his education. It is a personalized plan to meet the needs of my own child so not necessarily applicable to all children.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION: Shovel aerobics
SCIENCE: Perishable food items taken from a lunchbox and hidden in the closet. An experiment with mold.
LANGUAGE ARTS: Adam Sandler - comedic genius or moronic jackass? A debate.
HEALTH & CAREER EDUCATION: Why refusing to wear clean underwear can impede your social development thus limiting career opportunities. A real life case study.
MATHEMATICS: Applying math to real life problems - What does it cost to clean the bathroom? An entire bottle of cleaner costs $4.27 and a roll of paper towels costs $3.89. How much of each will you use and what will this cost?
The paramedic has pointed out that I neglected to publicly give him thanks in my previous post... apparently he is no longer in the closet... so today I will give thanks for two things. One: I give thanks that he drove this chicken shit to her parents' house in the snow and kept the BCer jokes to a minimum. Two: I give thanks that, although he AGAIN loaded the upper rack of the dishwasher front to back, he cleaned up after dinner eventhough there was a hockey game on.
