Fist Week Away......

So it's been a week since saying farewell.....What's everyone been up to these days?  I would imagine most of you are sleeping in late, hitting the pool, getting ready for camp, and of course, are missing school!  Let me know what you're really doing and I'll post it.  I haven't posted anything in SOOOO long now; I hope you're still out there and checking the blog!  I haven't had a chance to update the slideshow with the new slides, but I will.  Eventually I'll be "sharing" it with all of you, so keep checking your school email for the notification. 

I've been busy this past week - lot's of running around and getting caught up on errands and things I put off doing because of being busy with school.  This past Sunday my entire family (all the aunts, uncles, cousins, etc....) gathered to celebrate my grandparents 70th wedding anniversary!  Isn't that amazing?  Seventy years married?  That's unreal, and completely inspirational.  They're truly the backbone of our family and have set the bar high for all of us. I've also been getting to leave for North Carolina.  We're leaving at 3:00 AM Saturday morning - insane, huh?  That was NOT my idea!  I'm a little concerned about being in a car for 12 hours!  But, I'm sure the long ride will be worth the time at the beach and fun in the sun.  Anyone else have any trips planned?

Thank you all for making this past year one of the best I've had in my career.  Truly - you are an amazing bunch and it was my privelage being your teacher.  I think in all the years I've been teaching, this year had the least amount of "drama," which is good.  I was so happy to receive some emails from several of you last Friday when you were home and I was at school trying to get report cards done and the room packed up. (Did you receive report cards yet?) That was a nice surprise.  Please keep the surprises coming!  I also have several pictures that I had made to give you, but there just wasn't enough time to put them into the report card envelopes like I usually do; this means you'll have to come visit and take which pics you want.  Deal??

We'll chat soon.....HAPPY SUMMER!!
