Ski Trip 2008

I got to chaperone a ski trip for the 4th-5th graders from school at the end of February. The bus ride up and back was PURE H-E double hockey sticks! It is a nice ride from Caldwell to Boise, but no one thought to enlighten me with the information that the road b/n Boise and Bogus Basin was a one-ish lane twisty-turny peice of work. NOT COOL!

Skiing was amazing. I fell getting off of the ski lift the 2nd time I went up. Not the 1st time, just the 2nd time. I think I am a natural... haha, but that is one amazing sport! I only got one picture, another teacher took it and sent it to me.

Only 7 of my students went on this ski trip, ironically 6 were my BOYS who are the ones that I would have liked a break from! Go figure... One broken arm, one lost chaperone (and no it wasn't me), and one barfer on the bus coming down the mountain (where there was no way to pull over for like 10 mins), but we had a fun time!

Away for so long...

I have been without the internet for so long, I have almost forgotten how to use it! I don't know how much I will keep up with this blog because come Sunday I will have no internet again.

School is crazy and hectic. Spring testing is just around the corner. We have been doing an extra hour of school in the mornings for students who could potentially benchmark on spring ISATS, so I have been subbing for that about once a week. Our funny student just gets funnier all of the time. Here are some new lines:
* "Who busted a grumpy?" ( I think this means "who farted")
* "No beans, no business"
* You'll do for today...
* We are back to "No you are not my boyfriend!"
* Oh yeah! He thinks that he is "boyfriend/girlfriend" with a little girl in my class! Kill me now!

Guess that's all for now. I'll explain the -isms from above when I have a little more time. I also have a ski trip to write about, complete with pictures.... so fun!
