It was a tough day cause they called another indoor day at lunch.
Teaching:
We did more work for our report cards today. The kids did their perspective and told me about who their friends are, what they like best at school and the most interesting they’ve learned so far this year. It was real interesting!
We did a couple of math games and then I had a prep.
This afternoon we tackled rights and responsibilities again as I didn’t feel like the kids really got it.
Exercise:
I left work early and went for a run with Dennis. We were supposed to be doing an interval workout, but instead we did a tempo run. I hit a 5:57, but was definitely feeling eating at 3pm.
Knitting:
I managed to finish the socks! I had to change the toe of one because I was running out of yarn. 
This is the Brookline socks done in Kroy socks in gray. I really do love this yarn for reasonable socks.
Trivia:
There were five of us for trivia tonight. In the first round we knew:
What is Roberto Luongo’s twitter name?
Strombone1
What three countries start with F?
France, Finland and Fiji
Who wrote the Handmaid’s Tale?
Margaret Atwood

Your socks look great! Congratulations on your great trivia results 🙂
Thank you!
Sounds like a pretty good day! Congrats on finishing your socks!
Thank you! Now onto the next project on the list
Trivia had some tough ones tonight! I went to grab food at a place near me last night and they were doing trivia. If only I had known earlier then I could’ve gone!
The first two rounds were super tough!!! Oh I hope you can go back next week for it!
Well things are shutting down starting this weekend – ugh!! I might walk by and see though next week what the deal is
We are waiting to hear what is happening on Thursday
Hopefully things don’t close down for you but it seems like that’s what is happening in a lot of states and other countries
Yes I kind of got the feeling they wouldn’t shut down schools no matter what, though I’m hearing rumors they are going to extend Christmas break
Interesting.. I know my cousins school (they are in a private school and 8th grade) is keeping winter break the normal length but are having the first two weeks of 2021 be remote in case people travelled.
Kids, especially the littlest, need that fresh air to get their ya-yas out.
Yes and it’s so unfair that they don’t get to go out so often!
I would imagine that those conversations with the children on the topics of who are you r friends and what was your favorite things we learn were rather interesting and a great insight to your class. Glad you had fun at trivia night. Glad you were able to finish the socks in time and check that off your list. Which project are you working on now?
It is always very interesting to learn what’s in their heads!
I was happy to cross something off the list and I’ve started the toque for my friend Lyndsay this morning.
Congrats on finishing the socks, and thanks for your work teaching all those little people!
I did worse as I went down the list … I must’ve heard “Bad Bad Leroy Brown” a million times back in the day and never knew his height. 🙂
I was all over with that one 6’3, 6’7, then 6’4
I never remembered at all – I have to go listen to it (then have an earworm the rest of the night!)
Great looking socks and a great round of trivia too!
Thanks! The socks went better than the trivia 🤣
Love the socks!
Thank you
Wow, I knew like absolutely no trivia haha
I feel that way every week
