Falling into Autumn

Okay.....I'm a little bit slow on a new post......Okay....A LOT slow!   Guess I've been just a tad busy these days.   Getting ready for Open House was hectic, but so worth it.  I LOVED our video and hope to post it on the blog soon.  I've never done anything like that for Open House before, ever, so THREE CHEERS for our team!  And even though I ran into some technical glitches that night, the parents loved it. Thank you, everyone, for making our video and Open House a huge success! 

Now that Open House is over, we can really get "down to business."  We're off to a good start, too.  Remember, your first test in math is this Tuesday.  I've really enjoyed getting back into teaching math.  It's kind of like riding a bike....the skills are there, it's awakening them.  I'm also excited about really exploring science more.  The first two-three weeks are kind of "quiet," but things will pick up soon as we dive into biomes and food chains.  Students in past years really like this unit, and I'm confident you will, too. 

So fall is now upon us....do my former students know what this means in terms of Earth and its revolution around the sun?  You BETTER remember!  The days are getting shorter and it's darker so much earlier.  But, it is nice not having to battle ninety degree heat, which as you know, I don't handle too well.  Fall is such a beautiful time of the year.  The colors are exquisite and the air crisp and fresh.  I love snuggling up in big sweatshirts and shuffling through the leaves.  What are some things that  you like about Fall?

Thank you former students for your wonderful emails and visits.  I really miss all of you, but I'm so happy that you are all loving life at Brady.  Hate to say it, but "I told you so!"  And I also want to thank my new students for making the first few weeks of school memorable.  You're a great group of kids, and I know the year is going to be great!  Many of you are blog followers already, which is fabulous.  Let the good times roll! 

See everyone tomorrow.  Remember, no school Wednesday!  I think we're getting spoiled with these four-day weeks!
