Finished two books - awesome!  Booked did not disappoint, but I think my favorite is still The Crossover.  I also read Echo and Echo.  Poetry is something that I want to read more of, so these two were perfect for me.  What have you read this summer?

I had so much fun during my first Move Up Day!  I actually got to meet my fourth and fifth graders for next year and we had a blast.  

Thank you, class. for such a nice welcome.  I can't wait for August.

For those of you who loved The Crossover by Kwame Alexander, his latest called Booked does not disappoint.  Also written in verse, the protagonist's sport of choice is soccer.  Halfway in, I'm completely hooked, and read it any chance I get.  Please add to your to-be-read list.

What are your current reads?

so tired

I often wonder if people in industries other than education get this tired at this time of year.  Preparing for fifth grade graduation, wrapping up the school  year in a meaningful way, getting grades done, final testing and analyzing results, packing up a classroom, and yes, moving to a new one.  It's a wonder it all gets done, but it does, magically, each and every year.

A teacher friend reminded me today that I really don't need to make any drastic changes, but to stay true to my authentic teaching self.  Actually, a few friends have said this.  I am so fortunate to be in such a supportive community, where we lift each other and truly want the best for each other and the kids.

​So yes, I am tired, but I am blessed, too.

i'm back...

Not to make excuses, but I thought I would be switching to another website, so I didn't update this one.  In over a year.  Anyway, I'm back - in a new school and in a new teaching situation for next year.  I finished my math endorsement, do compliment adults daily, and finally earned 10,000 stickers on First in Math.  So that's the update on 2015 resolutions.

What am I doing now?  Preparing for the end-of-year festivities for my fifth graders, a move to a new room, new students in 2 grades, and a new teaching format - Montessori.  And, I'm presenting to my district on data next month.  Having fun and staying busy.  

Check out my latest obsession!
