Look what I bought for $15


There is a coop that delivers to a couple local places on Saturdays. You don't know what you get when you order. It is through http://www.bountifulbaskets.org/. You can order additional items like a citrus basket, or breads/desserts. They are in Arizona, Idaho, and Utah. I received alot of different veggies and some fruits and I intend to use them as well. The kids already had a banana and couple of apples.

I was hoping for a pineapple but I received some fruit that I have never tried: pummelo (pomelo) and asian pears. We hope to try these over the week. Then I received 2 butternut squashes. Yay! Don't know how I will cook those but I plan to. I got 9 sweet potatoes in my basket and I am going to try a recipe that sounds pretty good and if it is..ya know I will post it soon.

For a break down of what I got at this coop thing.
9 sweet potatoes
1 bunch of broccoli
2 baggies of baby carrots
10 bananas
1 package of grape tomatoes
2 butternut squash
4 pummelo
5 aisian pears
9 apples
6 oranges
1 thing of celery
1 huge head of leafy romaine lettuce

Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
