What... July

It's been a few months since I have blogged. I have been following some amazing teachers on Instagram and Youtube. I have went back to the beach with the hubby for 9 days and it was amazing!
I had a great end of the year and said goodbye to one of the best jobs I have every had! I was sad to see it end!

I must admit that I have mixed feelings about the state of my professional career. I have been lucky to teach the last few years. I have met some great people and worked with some great kids. Teaching in a different school every year for the past 8 years has never been by choice. I envy all those people who get their classrooms/teaching jobs right away. There is a part of me that can't believe this is still my struggle. I often say "This is the plan. This is the path." It's difficult to not know what I am doing from year to year. If you are reading this...send me positive vibes.

Here are a few photos from the beach trip. We did a lot of the same things, but also a few new things too!

Here are some other photos from the school year:

My mom and I on mother's day!

I would let the kiddos do their Orton lesson on the table from time to time.

They would beg to do it!  

Sunny August Weekend

It was a sunny day and my husband and I went to another "Taste" today. We took an hour drive to one of our favorite towns. (He proposed to me there !!) We spent some time in the shops and then had some yummy food! I bought this cute card which I am going to put in a frame:  

That was fun, but the most exciting thing that happened was when I looked in my mailbox yesterday to see a copy of The Mailbox Magazine. At first I was so confused. I no longer have a subscription to this magazine because I have been subbing the last few years.  Then I saw this on the back cover: 

 

WOO HOO! 

I have been feeling a bit low because I have not had any interviews for jobs, so to see that my idea was published in the Oct./Nov. issues made me feel good! 

It has been another sunny weekend and it's ending on a great note! I hope that is a positive sign for something good in my future! 

Happy Reading 

GOOD LUCK to all the teachers that may have first days this week! 

Weekend Rundown

The summer weather arrived and I am so happy! It hit 90 here today. I was outside all day and it was HOT, but I love the sun! 

Friday: Concert! Brad Paisley!! I was sitting. I was dead center!  At one point he came into the audience and was right behind me. It was exciting!

Saturday:  POOL SIDE !! 

Sunday: Our local "Taste!" It's a huge food fest! I ate too much, but it was GREAT !

Happy Summer!

Happy Reading!
