This Doesn't Happen in an Office?


This week, and next, our school is participating in a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  Each day the students can bring in coins to donate and participate in a spirit activity.  Thursday was "Dress Your Teacher Day."  My students brought me green fairy wing, a black feather boa, a cheetah tail and scarf, and silver bangle bracelets.  After receiving several comments from friends working in Corporate America, I was reminded about how much fun my job is!  After three days off last week, it's good to be back!

Snow Days

We've had two days off school due to the lovely midwestern weather this week.  I'm trying REALLY hard to be productive, but I have new books on my Kindle and shows on my DVR that are calling!  Maybe I can be semi-productive and semi-lazy?  Either way, Oscar is loving that I'm home!

Welcome!

I'm so excited to create my first blog - I know, welcome to 2011, right?  I hope to use this space to post stories about my teaching experiences, photos, books that I'm reading, and interact with my students, colleagues, and families.  Stay tuned for more!
