Aunt Christine Kudos to you for a job well done! I am one proud Aunt! Thank you for all the updates. Be safe on your way back home.
re: Where does the time go?
Steve In addition to what Cate says about chunking, stop after each important piece of information and have them repeat what is important. After they read the next chunk, go back and ask them what is important from before and the new part. Continue that process.
re: Time to make some adjustments!
Cate Try chunking each of your problems... If you need to find "x" first in order to find "y" and you need both of those to find "z" lay it out as 3 separate but cumulative problems. This should help with them not being able to find the information, but they are still getting to the end goal. After doing 2 or 3 like this turn it into a 2 step problem, do a few more than you should be able to make it one larger problem. As far as the talking and interrupting, you could turn it into a relay race where there are3 teams of 6 (or however many kids you have) and it is a race to finish correctly for something like bonus points or Hershey's kisses or whatever.

Momma That is not a joking matter!!!! Shannon's schedule would be REALLY messed up then and we know how she is when someone messes with her plans....
re: TGIF.. sort of
Steve Shannon keeps referring to this graduation thing. Hmm...we'll have to see about that!! LOL. Just kidding, Shannon.

Steve Williams Concerning planning, just remember that you don't plan a detailed lesson just so you can "follow it perfectly." You plan a detailed lesson so you can be prepared for anything that comes at you during that lesson that has to do with that particular content. (P.S.: I told you so!!!)
re: Back to school
Aunt Christine Wow, what a great trip and what great memories you both will share for years to come. Loved...loved...loved the pictures!
re: Adventures around Europe
Shannon Sadly no.. it was late and it would have cost us money to go up to the train station then back down again. London did not want me to see anything too Harry Potter so it made it impossible for me. This was a good as I could get.
re: Couldn't resist
Momma What great stories! The pictures are breaththaking but I'm very glad I didn't know about those cliffs untill you were back to safety!!!!
re: Adventures around Europe
Sue Thanks for sharing this Shannon. Sounds like some great experiences and memories for a lifetime!
re: Adventures around Europe
Steve Strange place for a bunch of stacked rocks! You should have photoshopped those out of the picture!!
re: The mysterious Stonehenge
Cate Looking at the ant sized people up on top should give you some idea of the vastness of the cliffs of moher.

Shannon has not added a travel plan yet
Steve I never remember you "too afraid to talk in class!"
