RN I am sitting, bored, basically babysitting. I'm subbing and all I've done is show the last half of the movie Enough 5 times. I'm sick of it, that's for sure! RN I want to go home and sleep, but I have to work at Dillons from 4:30-8

Right now, having to watch that JLo movie over and over again would bore anyone to tears!

RN It's a home ec class. I guess the teacher doesn't want any of them running the ovens and stoves when she's not here?? No clue, but it's jobs like these that I don't like. I hate being bored. It IS high school.

rn I'm glad my kids aren't in that class. at least here if they show a movie they have to have a lesson plan showing how it fits into the curriculum or what they've been teaching ...

Right now, I'm wondering what Enough has to do with home ec. Kids don't do this at home.

RN I really don't know how it would fit in either. But, i follow the plans I'm left. If I were in a full time classroom, I would always leave something music related for the kids to watch. RN I'm tired of JLo.. but i do want to see the beginning of the movie!

RN, the only movies my kids get to watch in class are ones that they've, as a class, read the book for, like James and the Giant Peach. Last year, Caleb's class read Holes, and the teacher has to send home permission slips for them to watch the movies. She didn't get enough "yes"'s so they didn't see the movie. Oh, and for rainy days they get to watch a disney movie usually (always something tame.)

RN I am wondering if these kids had to have a slip or not. At high school level, I don't think they do. Where I student taught, when my coop teacher and I were both gone, we showed The Music Man to the 5th, 6th and middle school bands they had to have a permission slip, but, at the high school, when I showed Into the Woods (on a day when more than half the band was gone), they didn't have to have a slip. Those are movies that I would show, as last resort, in my classroom. Being musicals, they fit somewhat. I remember in 9th grade we watched Dances with Wolves after having read the book. I think since it was R, we had to have permission to watch it. Each school district and each teacher is different. RN I have a 7th grade sewing class. They aren't watching the movie (thank God). They are practicing sewing lines on paper. RN I'm ready to go home. only 45 more minutes!

Right now, Into The Woods was one of my kids' favorite things to watch when they were younger. We taped it off of PBS, it was great! I found the soundtrack and got it for my daughter for Christmas the year before last.

RN Mamie, isn't it great? Some of the tunes are so catchy and it is a fun mixture of fairy tales. I have it on DVD. Might pull it out again sometime soon!

Right now, the local community college did it recently and it was very well done. Of course, the witch wasn't Bernadette Peters but they did a really good job.

RN - Into the Woods is my alltime fave B'way musical. I saw it on Broadway, AND I have it on Video, AND I have the CD. Luv it to bits!

Right now yay Granny! Laptops are awesome. Right awhile ago the kids brought home spring pictures. It's the stupidest thing ever, lol. Pictures are great, nothing like the school pics when I was a kid, but they send the things home, and you keep the ones you want and send back the rest. They cost $12 per sheet (one 8x10, 2 5x7's, 4 3x5's 8 wallets, a sheet of sticky pics, and a sheet with bookmark and keychain pics.) So if you keep one sheet it's $12, 2 sheets is $24, etc. Or you can keep all six for $43. Now why the heck would anyone pick four or five sheets when that costs more than the whole package??? I really only want the 8x10's and the wallets, but not sure I wanna pay $24.
