Attendance: Wendy, Ann, Robin, Jerry and eventually Steve
Location: 611
Teacher Bitching: Robin is so incredibly frustrated by the lack of action from the district special ed. team - surprise! Could be a blog in itself but boils down to - an informational meeting on the students' conditions (yes, 2 students) as studied by multiple people, including people from UW, information which Robin and Lynne have been screaming for since LAST SPRING is finally called. But, but since the spec. ed. people have screwed up and let a legal deadline approach the informational meeting becomes a rudderless IEP meeting, so the two teachers have to leave the meeting to teach still without months old information. Maybe they will find out about these students just in time to clue in next year's teachers.
Trick-or-Treat: This, of course, was the day Halloween was celebrated in school. We saw a great photo of Ann as a cow at work. Full body cow costume mind you. We ask: so do a lot of people dress up at the city for Halloween? Ann: no, it was pretty much just me in my cow costume.
She likes to just act casual and talk to people like she's not, you know, wearing a full body cow costume. Love it.
We heard about Jr. High costumes and at the elementary school everyone is in costume for the Halloween parade. Jerry was talked into a costume by his teammates who were doing a Superhero theme. He went as Clark Kent, which required only a Superman T-shirt under his shirt and a cool hat.
Episode of The Classroom: the one where a teacher wears an inapproariately revealing superhero costume to school causing boys throughout the school to suddenly go into puberty. (Can you guess who this is based on? And no, its not Clark Kent.)
Mandy Question: So what happens at your school for Halloween? I'm guessing costumes are not happening.

I'm writing you from my new computer. It's fast. It's pretty. I should have done this a long time ago. : )
Ann. I love the image of you in a cow costume, acting like you were not in a cow costume. Engaging in conversation, sitting at a computer, perhaps picking up lunch. I love it, I love it, I love it.
I miss you guys--I want to be sitting at a table with you tonight to debrief this week. But alas, that can't happen.
Oh, know that you will be spared a party from my sister, because there's now an actual shower. My options? "Well, it's either going to be a 'suprise' or you are going to know about it. What do you want?"
I will not subject you to this showering : ).
And, I must go teach. I will write a more sufficient reply with some sort of form soon. I miss you guys. I hope your weeks have treated you well.
