Here We Go!

Time to get this thing started! While my students are sleeping in this morning, I am getting myself ready to go back to school for the first time after a lovely summer vacation. This may come as a shock to my students and students everywhere, but I’m not entirely happy about it either. I love summer break! I love being able to sleep in, to lounge about all day reading a good book, to visit my local bookstore or library and just wander about aimlessly.

But I also love my students. And so I will return to work today with a smile on my face because I know that next week at this time this will be you:

Only with a lot less fur, I hope!

Ok, I’m kidding! But I am looking forward to seeing each and every one of my students next week, even if you’re not looking forward to it! We are going to have an amazing year…I guarantee it!!

Our school theme this year is Imagination. So, before you return next week, I want you each to imagine a wonderful year ahead of you and then make it happen! Our motto in Seventh Grade this year will be:

First you dream it, then you create it!

Be thinking about that over the next week…there will be a test on the first day of school. 🙂

[Yes, I’m kidding. There won’t be a test on the first day of school!]

Give a Teacher a Flip…

…and what do you think the first thing she records will be?

Ahhhh…A Day Off!

In case you can’t tell, George lives by the motto “Naptime is Anytime, Anywhere” (especially if there’s a lovely sunbeam shining on the kitchen floor). I hope all of my students are enjoying some much needed rest so that you’re ready to get back to work bright and early tomorrow morning!

If you want to get a head start on your week, I’ll be updating the calendar with assignments this afternoon.

So…what have you read this weekend???!!!
