More than a teacher...

OK...so you may not LOVE this post if you are a fan of my rambling words...but I am swamped in "my other life...mom, softball coach, head of our CCD cluster group, stand-in rep for swim team, etc!!"  So I was thinking...maybe I could use more pictures and less words to save some time right now...of course I will add captions, but maybe you could "infer" what we have been doing lately...hopefully you are ok with this...if not, please find me on a field or in a car driving one of my kids somewhere...and you can tell me about it! ;-)  Thanks for understanding...rest assured...none of this "other life" interferes with your darlings' days...we're rockin' it in the classroom!

Hope to see you all Tuesday, March 26 for our Wax Museum.  Final drafts came home this weekend...they have ten days to learn it so that they know it so well, they only have to look down a couple times...YES, you will be tired of it, but when all of us hear it for the first time, we will KNOW they practiced their tails off!  Encourage eye contact and LOUD voices when they're practicing.

ALSO...early bird science fair projects are due MONDAY...all others due WEDNESDAY...email me if you have questions.

Enjoy...
