It has been a while since I have put anything out on the family blogs. Halloween to be exact. Well where to start? There are only 23 school days left..... just over a month if you count weekends. The end is in sight. My students and I can't wait for summer vacation to start! We just had our final dance of the school year last night and I was a chaperon. No let me rephrase that I was the chaperon and there was a mom there watching her two boys. And no there wasn't only 10 kids there, there was 40 which is half the school. I have been to more dances as a chaperon than I ever went to in high school.
The main reason I can't wait for school to be out is cause I have two fabulous trips planned for this summer one to Washington DC and the other is to Boston!! And the best part is I don't have to pay for the one to DC and only have to pay a portion of the one to Boston. I am so excited to go back to Washington DC in June for 5 days and this time I get to take two students with me. I must apologize to them ahead of time cause when in DC I turn into a REAL NERD! (They seem to think I am already a Nerd.) I am still not sure what we are going to be doing while we are there, but they should be fun. I heard a rumor that we are going to go to Colonial Williamsburg and I am excited cause I haven't been there before. I don't get to go to Boston until the middle part of July, but I am super excited to go, I have always dreamed of going and so now I am! I get to stay in a historic hotel in Concord.... the starting place of the Revolutionary War. (I guess I am maybe just a little bit of a Nerd!) The only scary part of this trip is I get to ride Boston's subway all by myself..... and then switch to a train to get to Concord. The only reason this is scary is cause I hate doing it with luggage, otherwise I am fine.
Now you are all caught up on what I have been doing with my time since Halloween minus all the boring details like hitting a deer, taking students on two different field trips to SLC and not killing them all! The last one is a feat in and of itself...... three hours each direction with a bus full of kids. Each time I take students in to the city I am amazed at the fact how little they know about SLC. The first time they had to play in the revolving door and slid down the banister at the Capitol Building and then the second time they screamed out quote " There are taxis in SLC". We have to get the kids out more!
