Promoted to 4th Grade!

This past week I was told I was moving to 4th Grade. I wrote my pros and cons list. I will not tell you which one won, however, good news appeared in the newspaper today! The fourth grade writing test is no longer after about 15 years running. I am excited because I was worried about the state writing test and mathematics. Now this summer I can concentrate on getting my math in order. I have to move from my classroom of 9 years which forces me to do a little spring cleaning. Unfortunately I am a pack rat! One of the things on the pro list was the added technology that I get called - The Smart Board. This interactive board is great to get the students engaged using technology in our global world.



About a month ago, I did an act of kindness for a co-worker without her knowing about it. And this past Monday I had an envelope on my desk that read "Enjoy!" Inside were two tickets to the zoo! Two co-workers and myself along with our kids are going to the zoo in a couple of weeks. I cannot wait for our "Zoo Pal Field Trip!"
