Lesson 914: King Rodeo

Hello, Readers.

The Lamp Posters celebrated back to school week.

We knew it to be true by nature's clues. 

Cue the clouds

the moon

and the sunsets.

The whole week had a back-to-school feel.

Here is Big Man on Campus headed off to his first college class.

Here he is in his first college class.

Sam thought he had the wrong room,

but quickly learned college kids 

don't arrive at a 9:00 am class

a half an hour early.

I have hardly seen the resident puppeteer.

She's been a bit wiped out.

The first few weeks is overwhelming for a new teacher.

I said to Dear Daughter

It will get better......

in October.

Nephew Jack is headed out to help kids learn

and stay healthy

in the D.C. Public Schools.

He has a new placement this year

and he just had a birthday!

First day of school mornings are hectic.

We were searching the house for something

minutes before we had to leave.

The Mad School Rush had begun.

And what does Mr. Lamp Post decide would be helpful?
To help look while wearing a kilt.

We made it to school and had a great first day.

I even won the Last Teacher Standing game.

With all the beginning of the year introductions,

we often had to state our name,

subject area,

and years of teaching.

It is year

for me.

With this knowledge,

many asked if I had plans to retire soon.

Not really,

I said,

but I do have a request...

March 1st of every year,

a teacher can submit to the school district

a letter of interest

in a particular job.

A position doesn't have to become available that year,

but is a way of letting administrators know

of your willingness to try a new grade level,

subject area,

or school.

I'd like all 154 of my fellow teachers

to begin submitting March 1st Letters

for my job.

I want the admin office to look like this:

A hot tip from Teacher Amy

led Miss Natalie Jeanne

to Pop Luck

for Natalie Day!

She also had a banner weekend 

as a first timer at the Polish Festival.
She snagged this tee shirt

and a pierogi ornament.

It's getting cooler in the evening

and I crave an extra cup of coffee.

It's time to try new coffee!

Here is this week's selection.

It is whole bean

and very good!

Speaking of kicking horses kicking ass...

We went to the rodeo

at the Erie County Fair in Wattsburg

this week.

Farm animals are my favorite!

We have to finish this blog

with my new favorite song:

Godspeed, Uncle Bill.

Your paintings were wonderful.

You earned an A+.
