Tuesday, November 29

I apologize for not posting yesterday. We have been without Internet at school the past few days and completely forgot about it by the time I got home last night. Of course I had to make a stop at the Secretary of State on my way home - waiting until the last minute to renew my license! I guess there is no one to blame but myself!

I had a wonderful day and feel so blessed with the all the birthday wishes and birthday love from my students. I was welcomed this morning by a classroom completely decked out for my birthday! Complete with balloons, streamers and posters. This afternoon we celebrated with an amazing cake and ice cream - thank you Renee and Maria! And no birthday celebration would be complete without a birthday girl tiara, blinking birthday girl pin and birthday girl glasses. It was clear to everyone today that it indeed was my birthday! Thank you students for making it such a great day!

Don't worry, we did manage to get some work accomplished today! Here is a recap of our day:
