Mr. T-O-Double-D


Daniel has been selected as his school site's TEACHER of the YEAR!  I know how hard he works to make a difference in his students' lives and to assist other teachers and administrators on his campus and I couldn't be happier for him!  

Also, it appears that middle school language arts teachers are safe from lay offs so he is keeping his job as well!  It is a great day here at the Todd Pad!

Yeay! Congrats! I'm not surprised by any of it, you seems like a great teacher and no one would want to let you go. Good job!

Congratulations!

Sarah,

Funny you mention that about the skewers. I noticed that the teacher was taking the skewers as soon as they were done with them (possible weapon potential I'm sure). I thought of cutting the point off for a younger group or doing what she did just taking the stick as soon as they were done.

The pizza is too easy. I use the refrigerated pizza dough from Fresh-n-Easy for the crust (I also have used Rhodes frozen bread dough, or bread dough from my bread maker)I use Ragu pizza sauce, cheese and whatever toppings the family wants. Not too "homemade" but they like it.

Good luck
