NEWBERRYTOWN GETS NEW STORE
The first store in a new shopping center being built in Newberrytown opened last Thursday. I needed to pick up a prescription tonight, and had the opportunity to check it out. It is definitely a huge improvement from the Rite Aid down the street, and they are pledging to fill prescriptions in 15 minutes....time will tell if that really is the case. While I hate to see the shopping plaza where it moved from sitting empty, I am so ready for Walmart and the other stores to open. I need a place to run for quick items, other then Rutter's.

SURPRISE IT SNOWED!
Watched the news on Sunday night and we were to get rain...was I surprised when I got up and found snow outside...even more surprised to learn that my kids had a 2-hour delay.

SOCCER SEASON DINNER
You can tell soccer season has begun. It is 8:30 at night and I'm having a personal pizza (more like cheese and sauce on cardboard) that I cooked in the oven. Time to do some cooking and freezing so dinner will become--defrost.

FIRST SIGN OF SPRING
Can it really be? Spring is around the corner? I really was hoping for one "BIG" snowstorm this year, but doesn't look like that will be the case...so I'll take Spring--to be followed quickly by SUMMER!

TECHNOLOGY NIGHT
Tonight I got to do something different. Meredith's school hosted a Technology Night Parent Clinic. Parents and Students were invited into school to see the types of technology that is being used in the school. We got to rotate through three workshops. The first focused on reading and technology and we looked at Starfall (for primary) and In to the Book for older elementary students. In the second session we looked at moodle, google docs, and storybird. In the last session the students got to demonstrate how they use Comic Life to show content mastery. The night concluded in the library where we used the iclickers to answer questions about Internet Safety. Meredith and I had a great night, and I was proud of the technology that is being used in my daughter's school...after all I do believe that technology has to be a daily part of my children's life if they are going to be prepared for what lies ahead.
