Memories

Every summer I have "organize my photo albums" on my Summer Do List.  And, every summer I take out the albums, become overwhelmed, and leave it for next week.  Well, next week has turned into "next summer".  I hope I next summer will be the summer I finally finish this task.

I did find some memorable pictures while looking through the albums.  These are pics of my old classroom at the elementary school where I taught during the 90's.  We had several ESOL teachers, for a few years I was assigned Kindergarten.  I have fond memories of those days.  The kids were great and I worked with amazing colleagues that are still my friends today.

Hi Everyone!

So happy your stopped by.

Good Morning, Friends

August is here.  Can you believe it?

This Friday is our first leadership meeting, and next week the 

2015 School Year is officially in session.  

I want to thank everyone who visited my blog this summer.  

I cannot thank the link up sites enough.  They availed my blog the opportunity to have been visited by many readers that I most likely would have never been able to reach all by myself.

Today I'm linking up once more with 4th Grade Frolics for 

Monday Made It.

Today's DIY is a small trinket I made for my own sake, to keep on my desk. Hopefully, this little plaque will remind me of what I mostly want to do this year.  Smile.
