Hello and WELCOME to my BLOG! My goal of blogging is to share classroom and team information, student success stories, comical moments, important school news, classroom and team announcements, helpful hints, useful links, and so much more. Join me as we continue our ongoing journey into the world of 21st Century Technology while we enhance communication between students, parents, and myself. Please check the blog regularly and leave me a comment or two. (Remember, this is a school blog, so please use correct grammar and mechanics.) It should be a fun, valuable, and rewarding experience.

Farewell 2011 OAA!

You made it! You all made it through TEST WEEK! I know what a nerve-racking experience taking all these tests can be. It's nerve-racking for us, too. But, in the long run, you will be so proud of the growth you have all made this year. When I met you, you were basically "fourth graders." Now I see young ladies and gentlemen, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in your lives. I want you all to know how proud I am of your efforts this past week.

But, we still have a month of school ahead of us, so don't start to get into summer mode quite yet. There is still a lot of work to do. We are gearing up for the "Reading Around the World" project. I know you will all produce quality products and will learn even more than you already have. We will continue our journey through our solar system and the universe as we explore the planets, the sun, and the stars. Another Holden field trip is quickly approaching, as is the much anticipated Michigan trip. PLEASE keep in mind the things that were said at our team meeting today. Make good decisions, follow the rules, continue to do your best work, and watch the rewards pile up.

Did anyone watch the Royal Wedding? Some of my friends came over tonight and we had a "reception." Now I really doubt the future King and Queen of England ate pizza and salad tonight, but we did, along with some naughty desserts and filling appetizers while wearing glamorous tiaras! Then I wonder why the scale is going in the wrong direction! But, this wedding is history in the making, so indulging once in awhile is okay. I'll just have to run really hard over the weekend!

Have a marvelous weekend ~ see you Monday!
