Busy Saturday: Shopping

So my mom and I love these little shops in downtown Mesa called Domestic Bliss and Found.  It was decorated so cute plus Mom and I found some great buys.  I even got some of my Christmas shopping done!

 Mark your calendar for Friday and Saturday, October 14-15 from 10 to 5.

 Then I spent the rest of the day in my classroom, grading papers, and writing a paper.  

It was a great Saturday!

Girls on the Run

On Tuesday and Thursday you won't find me in my classroom after school.  

I will be coaching Girls on the Run (GOTR)! 

Spring 2011 has brought 32 girls and 2 extra coaches. 

Girls on the Run is so much FUN!  

Vision of Girls on the Run: We envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.

Family Fun

While Adam and Xan hike Havasupai I get to hang out 

the with my nieces and nephews for a few days.  

We always have fun! 

(Ray not pictured because he was at mutual.
Lucy was off hanging out with Sammy.)

Character Day

So we have Peace Days at our school.  If we as a school can solve our conflicts in a peaceful way (i.e. no hitting) we get a Peace Day.  Every so often we celebrate.  

Today was the day of celebrating 15 peace days.  

It was dress up as your favorite character. 

I was BubbleWrap Girl!

Brought to you by the Disney TV show Sonny with a Chance on the sketch Loser Force Five! (okay so I know you are dying to see this sketch so take one minute and have a good laugh)  My nephews and nieces always get a kick out of this show and I probably laugh just as much or more than they do!

My desk

So my desk has been over run with drawings of Hallmark's Hoops and Yoyo!  My students this year are CrAzY about them!  I love these guys (both my students and Hoops and Yoyo)!  They talk about manners (like how to raise your hand and washing your hands).  Plus they have plenty of ecards to browse and enjoy! I try to celebrate their birthday by having them choose their favorite ecard.  I also try to celebrate the different holidays throughout the school year.

Here are some of my favorites: 

Let's Bee Friends

Summer Clean Out

Something that's been on my list for quite a while is to go through my files, papers, binders, etc.  Here is something that made me laugh, my goals from 1996.  I was 11!
