So long summer 2011

Welcome back to school OKVA and OVCA students!!
I am so glad to have you in my class this year!  I hope you had a fantastic summer filled with fantastic memories!  Our family had a chance to head west this summer for a few weeks... CALIFORNIA beaches to be exact!!!  The weather was fabulous and we did not miss the 100 degree weather that Oklahoma was having one little bit.   Here is a picture of my husband Tony and our two sons Zachary and Max heading for the beach.. My daughter Rory hung back with me...

 

So be sure and leave a comment about the kinds of things you did this summer or places you went!  I can't wait to read all about them.

Wicked Weather May 24, 2011

Last night was a scary night for many of us in Oklahoma!
We spent most of the evening glued to the TV.
We had the kids calmly pack a backpack with a few days worth of clothes and some toys.  We gathered up some snacks for our stay underneath the stairs.
We waited until about 9:00 and then we heard the sirens and made our way to our "safe spot".  Although from looking at the pictures of the homes that were hit, I didn't feel safe. The winds blew hard as the rain came down. We were lucky enough not to experience severe weather here!

I hope all you are safe and sound today!

Oklahoma State Tests

Hi there!
So as we continue testing for two more weeks, tell us what you have thought so far.  We cannot mention any items that were on the test but did you feel prepared, were you nervous, was it better or worse than you expected?  Did you get a chance to meet any new friends?  I was Tulsa bound and got to see some of my students.  We didn't get a chance to visit too much but I enjoyed meeting and seeing all of you. So tell us  your thoughts.....be honest but be nice!  :-)

April 1, 2011

Hi there!  Today is April 1st... known by some as April Fool's Day.  What are some April Fool's jokes have you played or have been played on you.  Mine was.. when I was little, I switched the sugar with salt.  My dad did not appreciate that fact that he had salty coffee.   :-)!
Now it is your turn.. give us your best pranks!

Welcome Back!!

Hi everyone!

I hope you enjoyed your time off!  I know I did.  But regret has begun to set in.  I had planned on working some of the time but was enjoying the break so much I just didn't want to get too close to the computer.  It has a way of sucking me in! 
I did enjoy a good book though on my new Kindle app. 

 
Let everyone know how you spent your time off!
Blog ya later!

Spring Break March 14-18

Hi everyone!  Are you ready for Spring Break like I am?  Sorry I didn't get a chance to blog earlier this week.  We had the 5th and 8th grade writing test this week and I was busier than I thought I would be.
Well... the topic this week is to tell me what your plans are for spring break. 
We are not going anywhere special.  My two older kids will be in theatre camp all day, all week so it will be just me and the baby.  We had plans to go to the OKC Zoo so maybe this weekend or next. 
So what are YOUR plans?
