The girls just went off to school, at 8:45, very civilized and it gives them lots of time in the morning to get ready. Hayden is reading the first volume of THE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE and she is really into it, reading it for at least a half hour this morning as the rest of us were on our digital devices. Hayden's class has a field trip to Wegman's today so, of course, Evie is one of the chaperons. It's only for the morning so she will be back by noon. Halle and I worked on her sight words this morning; we also looked at pictures on my computer and I read her two books, with her help. She really likes to practice her words, to read her Bob books, and loves the praise---who doesn't. It's quiet now, amazing how when the kids leave, silence ensues. From what I can tell, the ice storm which was to hit Chautauqua was not as bad as anticipated, good news. It's warm there today, 37, but supposed to get really cold and the day wanes. It's hard to tell where this storm is going from the news, whether it's mostly in the Mid West around Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri, or in Chicago, or the East Coast, or all three. One of my students was in Cairo and just wrote on Facebook that she had just gotten home to the States via Prague. Good news as things seem to be getting more violent in Tahrir Square, as the Mubarak faithful seemed to have stormed the square and battles have ensued, mostly with sticks but also with some gun fire.
Just heard from Beth that there' no school in Darien, again, yippee say the kids, o, no say the mom's. It's going to mean school ends a lot later for lots of school districts. Looks like Marisa is about to enjoy a great breakfast!
