Last Day Blues

This whole week I have been home sick with a sinus infection and vertigo.  I got caught up on all of my favorite shows.  There are many!!

I also started thinking about the end of the school year.  I have a great class of 22 energetic, funny and wonderful little people.  I will miss them a lot.  Next year, I will be in First grade.  Which is new but it’s also where I began my teaching career.  Back in 1997, I was a brand new First Grade teacher.  I began in regular education then by year 2, I was a dual language teacher.  I am excited to go back.  But I digress.  

So since I was home sick and thinking about my kiddos, I wrote a unit based on the book by Julie Danneberg, Last Day Blues.  She is the same author of, First Day Jitters.  You can find both of these books on Amazon.  The titles are linked to them.  Make sure you check out at my store! 

 Now it’s time for bed and my meds!!!

Easter

This past weekend we celebrated Easter at our house.  It was a nice and long weekend.  I didn’t have school on Friday. 

One of our family’s traditions is to decorate cascarones and fill plastic eggs.  The cascarones are hallow egg shells that we dye and then fill with confetti and cover the little hole up.  When we hide them, we can crack them over peoples heads!  It is the most amazing time.  I have done this since I was a small kid in Mexico but now I get to share this with my own family. 

At school on Thursday, my class worked on my Easter M&Ms graphing packet.  It was such a fun activity for the kids to work on as well as learn about bar graphs and picture graphs.  I’m so blessed to have a class of 22 awesome students!!
