Tuesday - Day 11

Blog & CNN today.

Have you played any games with your family?  If so, what have you played?

We’ve played Life, Uno, and our favorite restaurant game, Rummy.  

Nick (my 13 year old) is in charge of all meals and activities today.  Dinner tonight is Chalupas for Taco Tuesday and molten lava cakes for dessert.  He also wants to make these iron-on t-shirts with a printed piece of paper, plastic wrap, and an iron.  I don’t have a color printer, or four available t-shirts to iron on to, so he may have to alter his plan for the evening.  Maybe I can talk him into a game?? 

Anyhow, that’s all I’ve got for today.  It looks like a dreary, grey day, but....I looked at the weather and I think today is the coldest for the next couple of weeks!  And it looks like the sun will be out!

Happy Tuesday!

Monday - Day 10

Hey....
Well...if there is even a chance of us going back this year, it won't be until at least May 1st.  This makes me sad.  I hope all of you are staying healthy and are practicing your social distancing.  I had a zoom call with all my girlfriends on Saturday night.  That's about the most interaction I've had with anyone.  

I'm not going to do a goals/how was your weekend blog post today....because....why????

I shamelessly made Mr. Cal watch Tiger King with me yesterday.  I don't even know what to say.  They are ALL crazy and guilty of something! 
Mr. Cal went back to work today after being home all last week on vacation.  I have a few episodes of Below Deck to catch up on this week while I have the TV to myself again.
Ozark released season three over the weekend.  I suspect we will watch some of that tonight.  I kept that little nugget secret until we were done watching Tiger King, so he wouldn't complain..haha!

So.....What are you watching???

Tomorrow I will have some projects ready for everyone, but today I just want you to do your blog and watch CNN10.  I'll be grading and updating PowerSchool today.  Remember, everything counts for real grades now.  Don't get stuck behind!

Let me know if you need anything!  I'm just an email or video chat away! 

Feel Good Friday! - Day 9

I feel like during these times, this question isn't all that valid, but I don't want to be negative.

What are you feeling good about today?

• After a week of all this nonsense, my roof should be finished today and the dumpster is scheduled to be picked up.
• Pizza Friday!  Trying something new...Making homemade stuffed crust without the actual pizza, and then I'm going to make a meatball pizza. 

That's all I've got....

What about you??

Tasty Tuesday - Day 6

Good Morning!  Happy Day 6 of quarantine! 
Today's Blog....Do you like to cook? Have you tried to make anything different so far during your social distancing?

I've tried a few things so far.  My family will probably say the "killer garlic knots" have been their fave so far.
As of 8:05 this morning, only 53 of you have taken the CNN quiz from last week.  By the end of this week, we should have some official word on grading, so I'd HIGHLY suggest making sure you're doing your work so you can get credit!  

Here's today's lineup...

MM1/MM2/Yearbook/Production - Blog & CNN

Marketing - There is a Chapter 11 Assessment in Google Classroom.  This needs to be completed by 10PM Wednesday evening or it will be considered late and additional points will be taken off.  

As always, let me know if you have questions!  Have a great day!

Motivational Monday - Day 5

I've created a video for you with instructions for what to do today....  

Watch it HERE!

I goofed on Friday's quiz.  I need you to go back in and put your name on it and make sure your blog address is correct.  I showed you how in the video.  This, today's blog, CNN Student News (I forgot to mention CNN in the video), and send Mrs. Rojas a pajama day pic are your "To Do's" for today.  Make sure you fix the quiz and blog address by 7PM tonight.  I'd like to get these in the gradebook.

Snow!  I'll admit that it's pretty, but not practical for me at the moment.  I've got a dumpster in the driveway and am supposed to get a new roof!

What are you motivated for this week?  What are you going to try to do?  I'm going to try to get some things packed and decluttered in my house so we can put it up for sale.

Also, the weather is supposed to get nice after today?  Well...sort of nice...for March?
