Happy Turkey Day!
Gobble, gobble, gobble!
What a wonderful Thanksgiving!
My family gathered at my sister Lori's house. Included were my sister, Lori, and her husband, John; my baby sister, Jill; my boyfriend, Bob; my parents, Glenn and Jackie; my daughter, Kate, and son-in-law, Andrew, with my new granddaughter, Heidi; my Aunt June, Uncle Gary, Cousin Tina and her husband, Chris; and various relatives of my brother-in laws.
We ate and ate, played some games, bickered a bit (it is a family get-together), ate some more, and exchanged names for Christmas.
This was one of the best Thanksgivings I can remember!
Blackout 3 at Level 3 of Melt
On October 15, 2009, my boyfriend, Bob, and I attended a benefit for Aids research at Melt on Level 3.
This black tie event was hosted by LVHN's infectious disease center and its attendance included LVHN staff and their chairman, Dr. Elliot Sussman.
Although the weather was rainy and nasty, Bob and I had a fabulous time sampling appetizers, listening to music, and watching the Philly's win a division game.

Classroom Observation on October 30, 2009
I substitute taught at Lehigh Valley Academy (a charter school in the Bethlehem Area School District) on Friday, October 30, 2009.
It is always interesting to me to observe not only the students and the teachers in throughout the various grades but also the classroom dynamics. On this particular occasion, I made notes of certain items within the classroom that I found creative and educational.
That day, I took note of the following:
1. Charts hung from various locations in the classroom for: vocabulary development, place value, times tables, and "A great paragraph has . . .", chart;
2. A chart of jobs which was marked by a popsicle stick with the student's name inside a pocket. A picture was affixed to the pocket with a description of each job. For example, custodian, pencil sharpener, paper passer, line leader, etc.
3. 8 1/2" x 11" laminated papers containing definitions of: antonym, synonym, homophone, plot, problem, solution, point of view, cause and effect, main idea, alliteration, rhyme, story maps, setting, theme and suffix. These were attached to the blinds with clothespins. I have also seen similar things hanging from a clothesline strung across a classroom.
4. A parts of speech poster with words listed underneath; and
5. A burning questions chart in which students attached questions with posted notes to it.
