AHA!

On Wednesday I went to Aha, the new children's museum in town with Lib and her class on their spring field trip. The museum is very nice (it would be nicer if they would have hired me instead of the lady with her master's to run it) and very much like the space for young children at Cosi.

I am sad though, the mother that had been giving us some problems before choose to not let her daughter go. They think the museum is "stupid" and the mom actually attempted to plan a field trip to the zoo on the same day. I feel bad for the little girl, the kids had so much fun just being together. I did however find out that the mom has been telling other parents in the class that Lib is a bad influence. I know that she is not, so I try not to worry about it too much. I really feel more badly for them. If she is doing this in Pre K what are the rest of their school years going to be like.





I have been working on school work a lot. I am currently creating a multimedia project for ninth graders covering the development of World War Two. They will have three compulsory assignments that must be completed, and three assignment of their choice to complete too. There will be over 15 things for them to choose from as learning activities. I just chuckle to think that I never will be able to do something like this when I finally have a job. In my other class I have to reflect on cultural diversity. I tend to be a fairly judgemental person, so this has been very enlightening for me.

If you are ever board search the paper clip project. Good things still happen in schools!

The situation with the mom sounds difficult. I feel bad for the little girl too. The mom sounds very manipulating. The one thing I hate about people is when they come off being so nice and easy to talk to. Then its like a light bulb goes off and you think how in the world did I like this person?? People are so hard to trust. Hopefully this year will be the last you will have to deal with it. All you can do is ignore the gossip. Gossip sucks. I found myself doing it frequently not even meaning to. I'm on a mission now to treat people how I would like to be treated. Anyways, looks like a busy year for you! The museum looks fun and as always Libby looks so imaginative and having fun! Good luck with all your school work. It will all be worth it in the end!
