Как успевать читать френдленту?

 За последние пара недель нашла много интересных людей и интересными жж, а читать нет времени. 

Думайте сами, решайте сами

Очередная продуктивная беседа на работе по поводу чаевых - кому, сколько, когда. В общем, в моём мнении некоторый людям делать нечего и деньги девать некуда. Вот что у нас народ наговорил (собрала в коллекцию) и что я этому поводу думаю (красным):

Полноценные рестораны, кафе, столовые - от 0% за отвратительное обслуживание и 15% за нормальное до минимум 15% за любое обслуживание, 20% за хорошее, 25%+ за очень хорошее (15% кругом бегом, 10% за плохое)
Всякие фастфуды, старбаксы, кофейни - некоторые у нас кидают в чаевую банку от мелочи до $5 (пошли они нах)
Маникюры/педикюры/стрижки и т.д. - от 25% до 50% (20% - 25%)
Доставка мебели - от $0 до $100 каждому грузчику ($10 в зубы каждому если в хорошем настроении, могу и $0, могу и коробку пива)

А ещё у нас на Рождество любят делать подарки всем подряд.  Одна дама заявила что тратит около $1000 на почти 25 подарков.  Начиная от школьной учительницы и продолжая водителем школьного автобуса, почтальёну (их у неё 2), 3 мужика которые забирают её мусор раз в неделю, прото так заносит сотню своей парикмахерше, каким то людям в школе - библиотекарше, в кафетерии, ещё комуто, заносить какие-то подарки в химчистку, так же в старбакс за углом, и ещё в кучу мест которые бы мне в голову не пришли. 

Вот и думаю что я наверно скряга, но меня это не особо трогает.
 

School - Becky

Becky wrote a short story at school following the following sentence:

I know you'll find this hard to believe, but one day while I was on my way to school...

a monster jummped out and ate my homework.  When I got to school, I got detention.
My teacher was so mad at me.  When I got home my perents were so mad at me too.
I woke up and it was all just a dream.

I really like it, and she spelled all of it herself (mistakes and all).

They also had to fill out a sheet about their favorite things:

Book - Miley Cyrus
Subject - Art
Pet - Cat
Food - Sushi
Hobby - Shopping
TV Show - Hannah Montana
I am good at - Making cheesecake
When I grow up, I would like to be - a Base ball player
 
In math for the 5th day in the row, her homework was to add two single digit number vertically.  I asked her today if she is getting bored with her math work and she enthusiastically proclaimed that it is the same boring thing over and over and she wants to learn "times" (multiplication).  I promised to work with her on it and also told her that if she wants, I can get her workbooks where she can practice.  After explaining that she would have to spend extra time after school and on weekends to do this, she was totally fine with it.  While we were discussing math, she also asked me to teach her how to write cursive and we practice a few words. She is doing fairly good with it. 

Then we had to go somewhere, so while in the car, I asked her to count by 15.  She's done it last week, but did not like it.  She refused to count by 15 and asked an easier number to count by.  I spit out 22 (how's that easier?). 

We also reviewed her spelling and vocabulary words for tomorrow's test.  Seriously, her spelling words were the likes of "dish" and "chase", 12 total. Her extra credit words were "across" and "address".  Her vocabulary words were "quickly", "leaned", "fig", a two others.  She knew all of these last year.

I feel completely cheated by our school district.  Anyhow, she counted to over 300 by 22s without much effort.  I think we will start multiplication table this weekend.

School - Hannah

Hannah is bringing home a new sight word every other day.  So far words she brought from school are:

the
here
is
a
an
we
see
and

She and I were reviewing her sight words today and then we were reading a book and Hannah was supposed to read all words that she knew.  Afterwords I suggested to her that we create our own sight word cards with other words that she knows how read.  We added to her list:

hat
at
off
cat
dog
fat
in
on
bee
hats
park
car

I am sure there are more words that she knows, but they were not in the book we read.  We will pick out a different book tomorrow.

She also brings home from school little books that they are supposed to read to parents every day.  She has 3 books so far.  All books are using only their school sight words or picture for other words.  She got a reading certificate yesterday in school for reading her book to the class. 

For writing they are practicing their letters (one at a time).  They are up to letter "J" now.  Also, every day, she has to write her first and last name one time.  She also has to write her current sight word 3 times, then write a sentence (with parent's help) using her sight word, and draw a picture about her sentence. 

In math they are studding patterns.  For a month now, she does circle triangle circle triagle, leather, rinse, repeat.  On one of her worksheets, there was a pattern of 3 items, shoe jacket glove, but it was crossed out by the teacher as too challenging.  *face palm*

Out of the blue, last weekend, Hannah asked me to teach her Russian.  I told her a few words, but then I was kind of thinking that she will forget about it.  No, she has asked me 3 times this week.  How do I force myself to speak Russian to her I don't know.  But I will try and see what happens.

For todays homework she had to write 4 things that she is thank ful for.  She wrote:

my toys
my family
Have food from God
For the whole school

I had to have a brief conversation with her how food comes from stores, I bring food home, you can refer to God as Mommy from now on.
