what i wore & what we did

classy selfies in my classroom.

I went shopping yet again for more work clothes this pregnancy.  My destination this time around:  Kohl's.  Now, there are people who love Kohl's and there are people that hate Kohl's.  I happen to be a hater.  I can't pinpoint the exact reason - maybe it's how unorganized all their ugly clothes are?  Maybe it's the $5 stuffed animals or books up front that I can't seem to say no to?  Maybe it's the fact that their return counter is all the way in the back?  Or maybe it's their overly animated cashiers that tell you how much you saved and circle it in red pen?  All of it sends me over the edge.

Anyways, we don't have many options for maternity in our small town, so Kohl's it was.  The only plus of going that way is that I can grab a taco supreme from Taco Hell on the way out of that stupid busy plaza.  However, I actually had some luck - I love this geometric wrap dress.  It was sooo comfy.

On the school side of things, we've been scientifically getting down over here.

The 7th graders made "Layers of the Atmosphere" board games and played them.

And in Biology we made chromatograms, separating pigments of plants.

 

 

Quotes of the week are both courtesy of our awesome new Filipino student.  He has a very thick accent, so make sure you envision them that way.

 

As we're walking to the library last week, there was a man that was having a lot of trouble starting his truck. 

 

"Wow, I think his truck has run out of energy." 

 

 

Then, as we were discussing something we'd like to buy and setting goals on how we can earn the money, he says:

 

"I wish every person on the planet would give me a dollar.  Except for the homeless people."
