The weather has also been amazing... We are talking about 80-85 degrees and that is awesome here in AZ!
My first day back from spring break {yesterday} was awesome! The kiddos really did miss school and we got a lot done and today was just as good! I love my little firsties! They are the cutest.
Talking about my firsties... I have a funny story: We were doing a word sort on nouns, verbs, and adjectives and a little kiddo asked me to read a certain word. Knowing he can sound it out I told him to "tap it out" {Fundation-talk}. So he said, "/p/ /e/ /b/ /el/, pebble". I told him, "yes, perfect, so what is it? a noun, verb, or adjective", while he looked at me with a blank stare! I asked him if he knew what a pebble was and he told me no. Well, another little one of mine shouted that he knew what a pebble was and I asked him to share out loud... Well this is what he said, "A pebble is something that comes out of your face and it's big and red!" Ha! He was talking about a pimple! I love my ELLs! So then we talked about pimples and pebbles and what they were!
Oh man! I need to get back to work here... I am planning on going to Culver's and getting a Raspberry Cooler... raspberries and lemon ice blended together.... AHHH I can't wait because it is sooooo good!!
Tomorrow I get to go to a Kagan training! I am familiar with Kagan and I use some of the strategies but I really hope to get new ones to bring back to my lovelies!!!
Have a fantabulous Wednesday, ladies!!! :)
Quick, quick, quick like a quick, quick chick.... check out these giveaways!!!
They're funny, aren't they? Enjoy your training.

A Cupcake for the Teacher
Thank you a bunch for the encouragement on FB and the lovely shout out!! AND HEY>>>>>where in Arizona are you??? I am in Verrado!!!! (It's really in the middle of nowhere in a weirdo city called...BUCKEYE...probably the worse name for a city...well, after growing up in California by the beach, the word Buckeye, seems like a thirsty water cactus in the middle of the desert...oh wait...we ARE in the desert...darn! Email me ANYTIME and I have been connecting with several ladies from AZ...one from Mesa and one in Peoria and another...oh gosh, I forget, but it is more towards Flagstaff. It would be great to bet as many as we can and orchestrate a bloggy meet!! Any-Who...I am glad you found me so that I could find you!!
