Harper's school sent home a parent involvement volunteer form so parents could sign up to help with school activities. One section of the form offered a space to note any areas of expertise that might be applicable to themed units. For example, if you are a music teacher, you might write "music" on the form. Makes sense. I signed Lane up for farming and me up for plants, gardening, and ocean animals. Mind you, the form states "areas of expertise," not "areas of some experience and/or interest." I figured Harper will be more blessed by her parents' school involvement than hurt by the fact that her mom is a little bit of a liar. I can't wait to teach a lesson on the communication patterns of manatees and the brilliant GPS of the yellowfin tuna.
On the topic, during a sorority rush party, I told a member of Tri Delt that I was on the Baylor Water Ski team. Things got awkward when she replied that she was also on the Baylor Water Ski team. Needless to say, I did not pledge Delta Delta Delta.
Laughing my head off! After living in Alaska for two years, I'd volunteer at the kid's school (in the lower 48) to teach on Bears and Killer Whales--though my only encounters were when whales swam by our island or cleaning up the aftermath of when bears got into our trash! Now I know why I love you so much Amy!! A kindred spirit indeed!!
