My sons have to carry everything around all day. The problem with this is that it makes them reluctant to wear a coat in the winter because they don't want to cart a heavy, wet coat around all day(don't blame them)and they have to walk a mile and a half each way. <br /><br />Good luck with your competition, I'm also doing a kata comp on Saturday. However I am also in a play this week so its rehearsals and performances all week - no time to practice kata!Sue Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008609198511182782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041374.post-44801716300692189532009-09-27T19:37:08.531-04:002009-09-27T19:37:08.531-04:00Next year, in sixth grade, my daughter will have a...Next year, in sixth grade, my daughter will have a locker.

Some teachers seem to think they have to assign homework every day.wh44https://www.blogger.com/profile/17209713992610016743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041374.post-40455488650484289062009-09-24T21:55:51.464-04:002009-09-24T21:55:51.464-04:00Robbie has had a lot of trouble with the class swi...Robbie has had a lot of trouble with the class switches too. They actually instituted a third locker break (ten minutes for the kids to run to their lockers and change books) specifically because Robbie had tried to carry too many books and had fallen over and whacked his head on a desk (he's one of the littlest kids in his class, and in two advanced classes).<br /><br />Making the switch from one teacher to many can be a little rough, can't it?Perpetual Beginnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09625596315528064536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041374.post-16434462884002638872009-09-24T18:58:27.937-04:002009-09-24T18:58:27.937-04:00Chatanyara...nice.

My daughter is really struggling to bring ALL her work home. I had to drive her to school today extra early so she could complete two english worksheets that she forgot. I told her she needs to bring all her folders home...every night. She is also having trouble switching classes and making sure she has all her books.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317845403611730397noreply@blogger.com
