Hello,
I'm afraid that this will be brief. My computer is acting up and it keeps pushing me offline. That was the reason that I didn't blog yesterday. I couldn't get online. My emails haven't been reaching me either. I realized that two of my afternoon responses yesterday took 24 hours to get sent. I hope you will understand that this is beyond my control.
Our government is up and running. We have three senators, five representatives, a prez and v.p, and a sheriff. Five laws got passed today. That means they were approved by the house, the senate and the president. The sheriff will have some things to look out for tomorrow. I think the "No talking while the teacher is addressing us" law will keep the sheriff busy.
The president and veep were busy today interviewing possible judicial candidates. The citizens were off and running on their class newspaper. I am hoping that weekly elections will get them involved in the government as well. I was a bit disappointed that eight class members chose not to run for any office. I was extremely proud of the all of the students running for office. They put themselves out there and in some cases, lost. Everyone was a good sport and I was happy for the attempts. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Mrs. Farrand, school counselor, came in yesterday and talked about the six words of ______________. I can't think of their label. It's been a long day. Anyway, the words are Honesty, Responsibility, Compassion, Courage, and two more. I can't think of those either. It's been a really long day. The students put on skits to illustrate the use of the words. They did a great job (it played to their strengths) and I'm sure they might like to talk to you about what they decided to do. I hope they can explain it better than I. Integrety? That might be one. Yeah, I'm losing it. It was another no break day, including an afterschool meeting until 5:15.
I'll stop whining. At least I got through this and I'm still online.
More later,
Mr. Shea
