Obviously I am not good at this whole blogging thing. It has already been several weeks since my last entry.

I am still enduring summer school. I have only five kids in my group, but boy do they need lots of my attention. We only focus on reading and math. We read a story each day and do activities based on the story. It is like oral surgery trying to get them to focus and pay attention while they are reading. Math is tough because they are on such different levels. I have one kid who finishes in half the time as the others and another who takes twice as long as everyone else. Thank goodness for multiplication.com that has games for the kids to practice their basic facts.

I had Stamp Club last night. We made a darling card that will be tough to give away. It was my night to be the hostests so I made artichoke dip, chocolate zuuchini cake, and a fruit tray. I had a lot left over so I brought it to share with the others teachers. I enjoyed the opportunity, like I always do, to sit and talk with people.

Tonight I have to go to a Presidency Meeting at 5:00 and then Young Women at 6:30. It should be pretty cute. Courtney Davis is going to teach basic dance instruction.

I am hooked on a book called Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The series is very popular and a movie is even coming out in the fall. The problem is that I have three other books checked out from the library that I put holds on and got all at once. I was hoping they would come one at a time. I guess I need to spend some time laying out and reading. If if would stop raining!
