Thanksgiving in the UK

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  Hope you are enjoying your Black Friday deals. 

We had a good day, but it was very different.  We truly missed all of our family and friends in the States.

We had some celebrations in the classrooms, and then had a small dinner here.  We cooked a chicken, skipping the turkey.  The UK is big on sides for dinners, so without more than a few touches on the microwave, we had mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and creamed spinach.  Sorely missed were the creamed onions, stuffing, scalloped corn, good sweet potatoes... etc, etc.  But I didn't miss washing all the Turkey Day dishes!

First Day 4th Grade!

Orinda Country Cotillion

The Orinda Country  Cotillion  is a forty year community tradition sponsoring a series of seven evening dance classes and welcomes all seventh graders in Orinda.  The boys are girls are both broken into two sections, so every other dance is with the opposite boy group. Two of the dances are themed (a sock hop and country -western) and the rest are semi-formal.  Last night was the first dance in the seven dance series.  Kate and her friend Zoe had a great time.  They learned the fox trot and a line dance.  Seemed like fun!
