I have changed my thesis idea back to my original. Simply because my new idea was too big a project even for a PhD! My original idea focuses on literacy, technology, social interaction, journalling<\/span> and girls. The difficult part will be conducting the three month study with 3 different middle schools–as I am not teaching, nor have I ever taught in BC. The good thing is I have children in the system (I know their teachers) and I have teacher friends in my master’s program. I will have to ask a few of them to allow me into their classrooms. English 8 would be perfect because I could use Mistaya’s<\/span> class as one.\u00a0<\/div>\n
I do find it hard to fathom that my dear sweet newborn girl Mistaya<\/span> is now going into 8th<\/span> grade! She is still as sweet and dear as the day she was born. She is so playful, so social. She just loves playing with other kids. She is boating on Okanagan<\/span> lake today with her friend Ashley’s family.<\/div>\n
My Mom and Dad are in Kelowna<\/span> today. Dad for one night, mom for 2 weeks. Mom is helping Miranda and John while they start their new jobs at UBC<\/span>. I am planning on my three darlings walking over to M’s house each morning for an hour or so until I return from campus. 2 Weeks<\/span> until summer school ends–two weeks to write a lit review! I actually wrote my prof and asked (most eloquently<\/span>) to change two assignments so we can focus more on writing up the lit review. Time is of the essence<\/span>!<\/div>\n
Beach weather lately. Hot and scorching sunshine. We’ve been beaching it on Friday and Saturday<\/span>. Last night Peter and I went to “The Hangover ” and the girls were in the theatre next door watching “Ice Age.” A few times I felt panicked<\/span> like I must check on the kids, this has not happened before. I tried to calm myself and waited until the planned time to meet in the lobby. Later Mist told me a few times Pip was frightened and cried for me–I knew it! I felt her need for me.<\/div>\n
Anyway, our movie was entertaining<\/span>. The humor was a little more revolting than I like. But it seems all movies are geared<\/span> for adolescent boys and they like revolting. My girls all enjoyed Ice Age<\/span> 3–especially the baby mammoth<\/span>.<\/div>\n
Supper tonight at M & J’s with my Mom and Dad. I am going to create a Strawberry, lemon-cream shortcake, and bring a few bottles of champagne<\/span>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
