We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving yesterday! Claire made it up here in record time and Clifton and Karmen joined us from Rotterdam. The food was the best ever, and the girls had a lot of fun helping to set up the fancy table. Nice to finally use some of Oma's things...maybe for Christmas we can get out the fancier stuff...
Naomi brought away the last boxes of her mom's stuff that she wanted to get rid of this time around. That is a relief. The last big project in that regard seems to be the video tapes, but the VHS players keep breaking. We are on number four now, and it is hit and miss. Is that a sign?
November is the worst month of the year for teachers, and things are definitely cooling off for me at school. I am busy developing and running the new math program. I would also like to put more time into the project based learning program that the school is developing, but I don't have much time for it. I sent the management an email explaining what I thought had to be done this year, and the list seems rather impossible. I am curious what their response will be, if anything.
