A few changes…

I’ve been experimenting with various themes and finally found a 3c set that I like as well as my old. In fact, I like these better! Now, I love my coffee themes…but these are widget ready and make life so much easier! I just couldn’t get the dynamic sidebars to work with Mike Little’s Journalized. The current theme is much simpler to change and users can choose what they look at when they visit. If you will notice the colored boxes above the poll…go ahead, click one. Those blocks change the color scheme and header image. I like the blue, but come football season it will have to be the tiger for me. If you like the green and turtle, feel free to use that. :) cute hmmm? For my school site I deleted the style sheets for the other colors in order to make the site default to blue. Hey, school colors are royal, black, and white. I don’t need the default to be bright yellow. Maybe at my other school, but not here.

We are getting unpacked. Djembe moved all of our boxes to the garage so that we do not have to look at them. I will spend this week working on the house by day and lesson plans by night. ONE WEEK PEOPLE! WHERE did summer go? I can not believe my ENTIRE summer was taken up with this move! We need a quick vacation. I would ask Jem if I could take off to DC for the weekend, but it isn’t even feasible with orientation starting Sunday….SUNDAY! On the upside, this district decided that it would be a bright idea to hold orientations on different days so you could attend if you have children at different school levels. WHAT A CONCEPT! Isn’t organization great?!?! Something my old school lacked.

Problem of the day: Anyone know how to keep dogs from digging and/or pushing under the fence? Mine are giving me FITS and can not roam here. They are so used to being able to go where they want that the fence is claustrophobic for them…or they just like watching me try to keep them in and it is their sick way to find amusement. Hey, the next step is electric. I just don’t want to spend the money. :(

My notebook ships tomorrow!!!!

    I LOVE turtles! Your new theme/header switcher is too cool!

    I have a question for you regarding your class website… What kinds of links do you put on it? For mine, I’ve included a grammar and punctuation guide, an MLA handbook of rules, a dictionary and thesaurus. Can you give me any guidance as to what might be helpful for my students? Thanks in advance.
