The past few weeks have been absolutely INSANE with school work, packing to move, planning our trip to Europe this summer...and planning Disney for December! I have been working at what feels like 130% and it has definitely taken a toll on blogging each day. I apologize to all our readers who have seen silence on here for the past week or so, but I promise, I'll be back on track soon enough!
Here's how the week went!
1. Ancient Greek Olympics at School
Over the past few weeks, my students have been learning about Ancient Greece and Rome. We've learned about the Gods and Goddesses, as well as what life was like in these ancient civilizations. (Do I dare admit that this is something I liked about Common Core??? EEK!) We had a ball, and ended the unit with a review of ELA and math skills students had learned all year. Our literacy and math coaches helped us put on an amazing day for the kids to have fun reviewing these concepts dressed in togas! If it wasn't for the coaches or our parent volunteers, this day wouldn't have been possible!
2. An Afternoon Out on Wednesday with Co-Workers
My assistant principal is moving up to Principal at the middle school. Many staff members came out to support his new endeavor, and it was really nice to chat and catch up with so many people we work with day in and day out. As busy as this week was, I'm really glad we all got together to stop and celebrate a little!
3. Meeting Dawn for Dinner
Time has been flying this year, and Dawn and I haven't been able to get together as often as we used to! Now that summer was coming, I insisted we get together, and it was so much fun chatting and catching up. Friends who you can just "pick right back up with" are the best kinds of friends!
4. The LAST day of school!
School ended yesterday, and It couldn't have come sooner! We had 4 full school days this week, and the kids and the teachers were so ready for the big wave goodbye!
5. Today, I was able to sleep in and begin to pack things up! My mom came to visit and helped me pack. We were able to have some really good conversations. I'm really thankful that I have her in my life to see me through all these big moments in life. I'm onto the next chapter of life with Marc, and I have to admit, I'm really excited!
Happy Weekend!
