May's Reflections

Happy Saturday!

. . . and, Happy May!

Linking up with

for May's Currently Listening:  Quiet Saturday morning ~ My son surprised me with an early Mother's Day gift by visiting me.  He was with me for a week and he left early this morning.  The house is quiet, all that is heard is the humming of the AC.  But, my heart is full.  So thankful. Loving:  Edu Buncee App  I showed it to my students this week.  They loved it, too.  We have plans to create our own Buncee's after our novel unit.   Thinking:  It would be so much easier to just keep the colors and class deco I used last year.  The beginning of the school year is so busy, the last think I need to do is re-decorate.  However, it is also so boring to keep the same thing, so I think I'll change my colors to Red, Black, White and Yellow.  We'll see . . . Wanting:  I was against using technology for independent reading.  I love the feel, the smell, and just the experience of reading an hardbound or paper back.  However, I just read my first e-book.  I gave in and bought one from Amazon and read it on my tablet.  I enjoyed it.  My only negative was that my wrist would fall asleep from holding the tablet in the same position.  Maybe having tablets would spark some reluctant readers to read.  Perhaps having a small group set would be a beginning.   Let's see how I can make that happen . . . Needing:  At the beginning of the year I vowed to not allow paper mountains to grow this year.  I've been pretty successful until now.  It's time to start cleaning, purging and organizing.   Summer 2015:  I'll be visiting Colombia, S.A., home of my husband's family.  We've been married for 28 years and we are finally going to experience his parents' historical tour.  Stoked.

My orchids are still blooming. I hope I can keep these alive!

Wishing you a fabulous month of May.
