This week in Arvada

Another one down & about 18 until summer break - woohoo! Been a decent week here, Jackie competed in her first spelling bee and got out in the first round - Sackcloth was the word and she spelled it Satcloth. Didn't quite here the pronunciation I guess. But we were proud (only 18 out of around 250 qualified to compete - via test) so not too shabby. The disappoint was gone in a matter of minutes as she found out that she got a lead in the school musical. Spelling shmelling, no one ever made it to Hollywood for being a good speller. Life then, marches on here in suburbia (actually my students call east Arvada "ghetto Arvada" as they live in west Arvada & mainly new housing developments.) It gives me pleasure to know that someday they'll get beat up or in trouble and mother and father will not be able to bail them out! (not all of them of course) Anyhow on that somewhat unprofessional note, I bid you farewell for now.
