MSNBC - No proof links Iraq, al-Qaida, Powell says

Wow what a surprise!

Seems the real link between al-qaida and terrorists was Bin Laden not Saddam--go figure :)

Washington DC Bound

Screw the High Alert!

Also means less people in the area and cheap cheap cheap hotel rates! :)

Ok so Anne and I are headed out to our old haunt in DC for a few days to see friends and visit old haunts from our Masters Degree Days. My voice is gone from the cold I had--got a good one. We will be taking many pictures and will post them in the pictures section when we get back. Hope everyone is having a great holiday!

I began teaching at 164 on December 22nd of this year. I am taking over for an existing teacher in Math for the 8th grade. You can check the link here to understand more about the kids I will be working with at this school. On wednesday I gave the kids an interactive assignment involving CD's and two CD Plans. Of these two plans the kids had to choose the one they would most like to join. Since I only had 45 Minutes with this class they are about half way thorough the lesson. The kids went to work right away on this lesson and seemed excited about the subject. Each group was able to complete the task correctly. Woohoo! On Wednesday the kids were given an assessment by me to see how they comprehended the multiplication of decimals. It is clear that we will have to re-visit the decimal issue at the beginning of the year.

The administration, the staff, and my fellow teachers have been very supportive! As required I am very sick at the time of this writing--seems that all teachers must get the latest germs when they arrive at a school so I am off to the doctor.

Ok so we have one down. Woohoo! This is a great win for the people of Iraq--who can now live without the fear that their old leader will come back in to power. It will be interesting to see if this makes it easier to put a new government together. Now we need to concentrate on the real person behind the terrorism and world trade center attacks. OSAMA!
