written in finger paint: Summer is Coming to and End...

Well, I haven't written in a long time, however, as this is mainly about my classroom the summer does not give me much to work with. One of the benefits of being a teacher is that in the summer you completely forget that you even have a job, however, that tends to make August a very depressing month. And here we are; August 4th. It may come as a surprise to some (ME), but I actually have to return to work in just four days.
You may remember at the end of last year I mentioned that I would be moving to a new classroom. I have gone in this summer to rearrange the furniture, however, the entire classroom still needs to be set up next week before the students come. Don't worry I have made several lists to keep me on track (I am a huge list maker). I will post updates on the classroom setup next week, however, I wanted to answer the question that many often ask, "What does a teacher do during the summer??"

Here is what I did this summer (don't get to excited...)

1. Most importantly... I have been relaxing by the pool, (trying) to work on my tan, and spending some much needed bonding time with my dog, Vienna.

2. Of course I have been getting in as much husband time as possible (which is hard when this is his busy time at work). We both have summer birthdays, and therefore, had a great time celebrating those. We were also able to take a vacation to Vero Beach, Florida with most of Justin's family.
