I gave out dictionaries today
Each year the Rotary Club passes out dictionaries to third graders.
I was fortunate to deliver dictionaries to Eswood and Kings. They don't have large classes, which I think can be a very beneficial to youngsters. the extra attention can help them grow and can offer some quality teacher/student time.
On the other hand, it can limit what you do in the classroom. If you have a couple of kids out sick, you end up repeating a lot of what you already taught.
I love the atmosphere of the schools too. I notice that same child centered atmosphere at Tilton and Lincoln too.....lots of kids art and work hanging in hallways and classrooms. You can tell its a place for kids and about kids. I know May and Central are that way too, but I have not been in those schools for a couple of years. Time flies.
I was shocked that the dictionaries did not list Pluto as one of the planets. Damn those astrophysicists! Pluto will always be a planet in my heart and mind.
I'm to old to learn new stuff.
Which brings me to my recent dilemma.
I have an update on my PC. In order to install it, I have to enter my password. I did. It isn't.
So now I have to retrieve my password by entering my Apple ID. I did, it isn't. I just get a little frazzled.
I am having trouble with pictures everywhere. On my PC, I can't get to recent pictures unless I scroll through the older ones. I got the computer in 2011 and there are a lot of pictures to scroll through. There has to be an easier way, but I can't seem to find it.
John came over and played with my computer. He can't see why I can't download pictures like I have been doing. He suggested a new hub. The same message keeps popping up. I fear it is a problem with the computer hardware. Paying a couple of hundred dollars to fix a 6 year old computer may not be worth it.
And so it goes.
If you read this blog regularly, you will see some familiar themes: I can't handle technology. I can't remember a password, even after I write them down.
There has to be a better way.
