Summer..... the most wonderful part of my year! Don't get me wrong I love my profession , but summer is the time I spend with my family! The time that goes uninterrupted by my endless thoughts of teacher responsibilities. So summer is my time, family time, the time where I can catch up on things that I may have missed out on during the hectic months of work... SUMMER
This summer was DIFFERENT....
I spent the first two weeks in our local hotel confrence room with a great group of teachers, where we broke down the new core content standards into " I can" statements. Then a couple weeks after that, my son's ball team went to VA beach for a ball tournament. One day after we returned I loaded my bags again as I headed off to Missouri with five other teachers to a professional development on Whole Brain Teaching. Not long after returning I signed up for "Teach Like A Rock Star" seminar in Louisville. All of these events definitely improved my teaching and I will cherish the memories of all three but where did my SUMMER go...
Here are a few pics of my short summer.....

After returning home from VA beach, I met Ashley the next day to rent our van and pick up the ladies at the elementary school where we work. The drive was long but all the company was wonderful-we really got to catch up on everyone's lives. Nothing more fun that traveling with a large group of women. We did make a few wrong turns and ended up at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. But all of the crazy things that happened only made my memories even fonder :-)

This was our team of teachers at the conference. We need
to do this more often-Lots of great memories! |
