The Best Balloon Factory!

hee hee.... now you are wondering what in the world??? :) So every Tuesday I leave school a bit early to get back to CC for seminar. Supposedly these are mini-classes that are on very helpful topics (classroom management, ELL students, RTI stuff) --

Let me just interrupt myself and say that teachers have more freakin' acronyms than anyone else on this planet! RTI, CBM, ELL, ILP, SCR, CRAZY! Its ridiculous!!

Anyway -- so sometimes seminar is helpful and sometimes its a colossal waste of my time... and today was more towards the time wasting, but it was still fun because of the activity we did. I think the point of it was to compare individual work with division of labor/production line. However, me and my super-fun partner (that would be "my super-fun partner and I" if I was being grammatically correct, but I'm not) kicked all the assembly line peoples booties! We made a total of 16 super-duper-fantastic hot air balloons (out of paper of course) in 15 minutes. We even had happy face balloons, holiday theme balloons (Christmas and Halloween) and seasonal balloons (flowers, fall leaves). We rocked :) I think we may have messed up the presenter's point... but oh well :)

On the not-so-random side of life... both meetings on Monday went very well, and today I got my review of my first formal evaluation (from last week) back and I did very well. Yay me! Two days down, three to go!

Got any pictures of the balloons? 3-D? Suitable for framing or decorating the fridge? Whatever, it sounds like lots of fun!
