Yikes! My good intentions turned to dust once the school year started. I'm certainly not an avid poster but man can I stalk a blog with the best of them. I found so much inspiration out there in cyber-land to help me through my first full year in public school education, thanks is in order to the amazing people who inspire and push me to stretch myself as a teacher, cook, mom...ya you know the drill.
Any-who, I'm not going to make promises of doing more here but I do want to share some of the fun we've had in and out of the classroom. Hope you make it through this deluge!

We have a few more days left and they will be full of assessments, fun,
reader's theater performances, and probably a few sad tears too. I can't
believe this incredible year is coming to a close soooo quickly. But then I'm ready for some extra time with my peeps at home too.
Happy Teaching and Counting Down!
