We're waiting for a big snow storm tomorrow. That's the day when a lot of people are heading off on vacations abroad. A lot of people we know seem to be going away for Christmas this year, including the kids' classmates.
I've got everything I need for Saturday's party, largely due to the impending storm. A friend and I are planning to go for a walk Saturday morning...hmm. K and I found a nice stainless steel dog tag necklace last night at the mall. We got it engraved in his initials and he chose the type of lettering he wanted. K's History average has gone up 30% since he started studying for his tests. We're happy. The goal next year is to break the back of Math and Science (easier said than done).

Congratulations to K on upping the History average! That is really great--30% is a lot!! Sometimes it's not so much how MUCH you study as HOW you study.
ReplyDeleteWhere overseas are people going? It is interesting that in a time of cutting back that people are travelling overseas.
The Caribbean must be having a lot of great last minute deals. Otherwise, I heard Hong Kong, India..and Germany. Yes, I guess some people still have some money!
ReplyDeleteYes, the truth is K studied just one morning for the last big History test, but focussed on the teacher's review sheet.
It takes a while to know what each teacher thinks is important, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThose are some pretty exotic destinations!! I'd love to go to Hong Kong one day.
