As we sat down to write this post, we noticed the last time we posted was on June 11th. YIKES! How did all that time go by? Oh, wait...It must be SuMmEr!! Yep, full swing. We're in it. Let's face it folks~Summer suits us. And, who are we do deny the invitation to bask in all its glory? Not a care in the world. Lazy days. Long nights. Beach days. Baseball games. PJ days.

Has it Really Been that Long?
Prom for Teachers
We wait ALL year for this night! We can't believe it's finally here! We're excited. We're nervous. We're exhausted. We're anxious. But most of all... We are so very, very grateful to have a Date! We've got our new dresses. Our badly neglected toes get a much needed pedicure pick me up for the BIG night. We're primped and ready. Still a little nervous. Definitely still exhausted... Our limo arrives... {Weird. It's disguised as ... VIEW POST

Between Open House {pics coming soon}, assessments, report cards, the biggest school-wide fundraiser of the year, and our school's reading celebration, which all happened within 3 point 5 days of each other, you would think our S.O.S.

Hey, if you can't beat them, join them...right? Our annual trek to the zoo is an absolute whirlwind of animalness! This trip takes us on an hour long bus ride with one mission ~ Don't lose anyone! Bring learning to life for our little friends. Fortunately, we had a little help keeping an eye on everyone. We got to watch the ... VIEW POST
Adventuring Through Africa
We've been having a WiLd time learning about Habitats in our class for many months now. But, one of our favorite stops is the Savanna Habitat. We tie in our Africa learning at the same time, which carries us through Open House. Needless to say, this keeps us very, very busy at a time when we are just counting the days. {Squeeeeel!!!} But, we still have Open House this week and Report Cards due too. Calgon, take us away... One of our favorite Africa activities is the last one we ... VIEW POST
What’s Your Trick? Terrific Tickets and Class Raffle
Ahhhh, let the Countdown begin! Summer will be here soon and it will be a time of rest and relaxation for all of us tuckered-out-teachers. A time of not getting up and out the door in the morning and not having recess duty or bus duty or not attending staff meetings and not conferencing with parents and not worrying about homework, reports, projects, lunches, etc. etc. etc. BUT, until then-what on earth do you do with these Summer Spastic Students??? We are pulling out all our tricks to ... VIEW POST
