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!

Almost Done!

Non-teaching notes: 

I did an outdoor spin at my gym to support the local cancer research hospital. There is a huge bike ride in a few weeks and every year my gym drags the spin bikes outside to raise money in honor of the bike ride. Here is a pick of me during the ride: 


I went to an art festival with the husband. After three days of rain the sunshine was wonderful!

Well, here is what I enjoyed this weekend:

Happy Birthday!

MARCH 13, 2013

A Great Day !

Today I took a half day. Before I left I celebrated my birthday with my students and shared ice cream cups with them. I told my students I was 29 again. LOL 

The hubs and I went to a movie. It was a nice midweek treat! 
We went to dinner and I had a little of this: 


Then we went to Barnes and Nobles for some browsing and a caramel macchiato to have with some of this: 

It was a nice birthday with fun messages from family and friends. 

Happy Reading!!

I'm on Break!

We celebrated the 100th day last week with classroom rotations. I played "Roll to 100" with various 2nd grade groups. The idea was on a blog I follow and I wish I could thank the person, but I don't remember who it was.  (That is just how my year had been with a new grade level and taking over for a teacher in October!)

Valentine's Day was a whirlwind. We did edible math and a parent came in to make a craft.  I still have not mastered the classroom party! It just seemed smoother with 4th graders. I have another one on March 17th - so if anyone has any ideas, let me know!

One kido gave me this:

 

MMMM... Chocolate! 

If you are on a break this week! Enjoy!

It's January !


I went for a ride today with my husband to a part of town we have never visited. 

While we were there, we saw a new development of houses and we decided to check out the houses. I said "I have found my future home". I just thought it was great that my first name is a street name. LOL.

Hope everyone is enjoying the new year! I have had a busy three weeks of school. Nothing too exciting to report and no good pictures. Maybe, next time!
