Still loving summer Fridays...but I think it's to the point where there are fewer left than I've already had :-(
I did make time this week to finish up another batch of partner/trio plays AND I lumped all 4 batches together into a MEGA pack. I can't wait to use these with my new kiddos this year. I also need to print some off so my daughter, husband and I can read them at bedtime while snuggling in our bed....it's so fun!
I LOVE taking pictures of flowers and my blog began with a beautiful picture of my mother's peonies. Peaceful and beautiful they are...
My daughter and I had a girl's date today and saw this movie. From a teacher/parent standpoint it's brilliant and very funny!! This is like SEL and metacognition coming to life and explained to kids in a simple, fun way. I really want to incorporate this into my classroom somehow this year.
I'll never forget using my dad's typewriter in middle school to write book reports...thank goodness for laptops and iPads!! I LOVE to write Readers' Theater plays and ideas are always bouncing around in my brain...just hard to make time to sit down and write more often. But when I do make time, it just flows out of me and, since I can save everything, I can stop in the middle of a play and come back to it later. I have many unfinished plays because I'm like a cat that sees something shiny and jumps right to it...
There is nothing like picking your own salad out of your garden each night for dinner! Yum!

| A Dinner Plate Dahlia I grew from a bulb. |

| Irish Lilies that a student gave me at the end of the year. |

| Fireweed, the state flower of Alaska. It's beautiful but actually a weed that can grow in excess of 5 feet tall! |
Have a wonderful weekend and hold on to the fleeting summer!
I want to see Inside Out... maybe this weekend. And your garden looks beautiful! See you around. Kathleen Kidpeople Classroom
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Inside Out as well! Such an awesome movie and I have been trying to figure out exactly how to use in the classroom as well.
