I just couldn't let this e-mail pass me by...<BR/><BR/>I love this idea of a class for girls in fashion. I think I may take Joyce's offer to get the lesson plan.<BR/><BR/>Joyce: Yeah, around here, they have a lot of interest in killing the geese humanely. Deer, too. I guess they wreak a lot of havoc. Behind my house live a family of three deer...I think they are protected, but I know out in the exurbs like Loudoun, deer hunting is big business. :)<BR/><BR/>I would love that lesson, if she still has it. HOW FUN!!! Thank you!dinagideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892195449655319256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-7724772020127780302009-03-25T20:36:00.000-04:002009-03-25T20:36:00.000-04:00Oh, a teacher friend of mine did a fashion show wi...Oh, a teacher friend of mine did a fashion show with/for her kids. She received donations from local stores and it was a big hit. I can get you her lessons if you are interested.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338523049103552635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-87597170742808251232009-03-25T20:34:00.000-04:002009-03-25T20:34:00.000-04:00Dina, I laughed out loud in the car today when I p...Dina, I laughed out loud in the car today when I passed by the official state "Goose management patrol" car this afternoon.

You would definitely be the coolest teacher, like, evah (as if you aren't already).HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-4986976250182887262009-03-25T12:38:00.000-04:002009-03-25T12:38:00.000-04:00Oh, these darn Canadian geese...they love the big,...Oh, these darn Canadian geese...they love the big, huge field that is next to our building. The poor field has been RAVAGED by them...sigh.<BR/><BR/>I don't know how nice this area is relative to places like Great Falls and McLean, but as a native yourself, you know that western Alexandria isn't too bad!!! ;)<BR/><BR/>We don't get the memos about their clothing, but I wish we did, then maybe I could get around to enforcing that!!!<BR/><BR/>As an aside, I told the girls in my last class yesterday that I would love to do a "Fashion for pre-teens" class during the summer and you would think by their reaction I suddenly turned into gold! That would be a blast to teach AND I could potentially steer some of these girls away from some poor choices...you know what I mean...<BR/><BR/>Have a nice day...it is sure nice outside.dinagideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892195449655319256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-19442614080233679342009-03-25T12:29:00.000-04:002009-03-25T12:29:00.000-04:00You must teach in a nice area to have geese around...You must teach in a nice area to have geese around.<BR/><BR/>When I taught, my favorite parent memo started "Spring has sprung" and proceeded to remind them of the dress code and how clothes that may have fit last fall, may not fit in the spring. Middle schoolers + tight clothes, not a good combination.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338523049103552635noreply@blogger.com
