Craft from last month...


This is Jasmine's craft from St. Patty's Day. It was hanging in the hallway outside her classroom:) They took photos of the kids, enlarged them, and made the beard and hat. Totally cute:).
Today Jasmine gave her presentation on her Math Vending Machine! Miss Wachtel told me that she did very well, was very articulate in explaining what it was, and answered all of the other kid's questions about what it is and how it works:)) The only other project I saw as of today was one made by Jasmine's classmate, Briannah. It was a box that you can put a vegetable into... and it makes that vegetable taste good!:)) I am sure I will see and hear of more projects next week.

As for me, I spent most of the day at the dentist again. I had all of my records transferred to AT Still University Dental School in Mesa.... from the MIdwestern Dental College which I did not like..... for many reasons. The dentist I have now is a 3rd year resident and she is moving to Alaska to practice with her brother in July....Darn, finally when I find someone I like:( Anyway, I had a skull CT Scan today which is the prerequisite to making the dental implants. It is so sophisticated, I am not even sure I understand it... but somehow, from the CT results, they will custom- make the implants just for me.... then they will be implanted with computerized guidance. It's taken me many years to save up for this "big event"....and I still don't have enough.. but hopefully by the end of this year I will. In a couple of months, we/they are going to finally do a bone graft on my left lower jaw because it is "too thin". (wish the rest of my body was). Then, there will be a ugly gaping hole in my left jaw for one year while the bone builds up... then finally next year about this time, we will be doing the implants. I told the radiology tech today that I am so happy to be getting 10 years of radiation on my head today, and he said.."Oh no, no, no.... this is "pulsed radiation" so it is "not much".... Hmm.... why don't I believe you? I didn't say that out loud though.
