It's done. Over. Finished. This incredibly difficult year of teaching. Thank you God!
This has been a year of struggles and reflection; aggrevation and exhaustion. Why? Good question. I wish had a nice, neat answer but I think instead it's an accumulation of things.
This group of little darlings were generally low in reading and math skills, making teaching a challenge at times.
This group was also incredibly immature, as a whole. Some days were babysitting from hell.
This was Year 7 for me in my current district. Does the 7 year itch really exist? Maybe. Reflection on the year has led me to believe that I need to change up some curriculum for next year. But right now, I'm too tired to worry about it.
On another note....This is blog post 500! Never thought I'd get here.

Straweberries!
Weird, warm weather has meant the Strawberry season started two weeks early this year. I've never picked strawberries in May, but it was a beautiful day to spend with the most important women in my life. We picked almost 30 pounds of berries. After lunch at Red Robin, I went home to bake Devils Food cupcakes because strawberry shortcake should be chocolate, right?

Memorial Weekend
Beach...Family....Friends....Good Weather...What more can you ask for in a Summer Kick-Off Weekend.
Of course, Memorial Day is not all about fun and games. We remember the sacrifice and loss as well.

Spring time cuties!
The preschool spring sing was a lot of fun. These two were really excited for the evening.

Food and Wine
Another awesome weekend at Taste of Ashland has come to an end. We had a fabulous time, ate lots of yummy food and drank some lovely wine, beer and cider. This year we missed taking our fabulous group shot, so this one taken at the K&R in Rice Hill (enjoying a traditional Sunday afternoon Umpqua ice cream stop) will have to stand in.
