Third Grade
Last week I started my internship in the third grade at Dunwoody Elementary school. My supervising teacher is very nice and in actually a graduate of the Georgia State University undergraduate education program so she knew exactly what I needed to do when I got there. The kids are pretty good too. We only have 15 students and one leaves for ESOL for the majority of the day. In the morning we start off with Language Arts. This lasts from 8:30 until about 10:15/10:30. This is when they do guided reading and workboards. Next week, I start leading a guided reading group as part of my guided reading project for Language Arts. I'm working with the Orange group. After that, they do writing workshop and they create stories inculding full paragraphs. An introduction, three main paragraphs, and a conclusion. After this, the students go to math class. This is when they switch to different classrooms so that everyone in the class in on the same math level. The students that come into Mrs. Gutlay's room are the one level math kids. After this they go to specials, then lunch, then social studies. Finally, the have recess and then its time to go. The morning goes by pretty slowly but after lunch and specials, the day goes by pretty quickly. I was very nervous when I found out that I was placed in a third grade classroom but its really not that bad!

Voodoo Enronomics
Feudalism: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.
Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them and sells you the milk.
Communism: You have two cows. You must take care of them, but the government takes all the milk.
Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
Enron Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt-equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred through an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The Enron annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.
