A Great Spring . . . and Summer

The spring is always a busy time for teachers. That is why, combined with fun in the craft room and a demand for several cakes, my blogging time was lacking. I was planning to catch up in the summer but alas summer is coming to a close too. In fact, I've already been back to school for 2 1/2 weeks! We began early this year due to a construction and remodling project. We are so excited to have new and refreshed classrooms, hallways and bathrooms. Christmas Break will be halfway for us this year and I get out of school before my birthday. wooohooo! There's always a positive twist right?!
Anyway, I have a terrible habit of beginning a blog and saving it to drafts because my obsessive habit to reread and over-edit cuts my time short. (Not that it really helps - do you ever read something you've written and it seems great but then later you realize you're missing letters or entire words? That's me! and you've probably noticed.) Therefore, I have many blogs of projects and recipes to share with you from the late winter through the spring. As I find time to re-edit once again I hope to share them with you soon.

And THIS is reason #576 why I love 1st grade. You never know what will come from my students mouths or the tips of their pencils. This particular student (from last year) was very bright and apparently I didn't read the spelling test quickly enough for her. I guess it's a vocab and spelling test all in one. Just something to put a smile on your face as a new school year begins!
If you don't find this entertaining it's ok . . . one of my fellow 1st grade teachers always says "We need to get a life!"
Sometimes only Primary Teachers would understand our humor.
