I know....Where Have I been you say....Well this year has been very busy since I last wrote in January. I have had a great first year teaching and love it. During the school year lots of things happened to many to write here today.. I promise I will try better to get things on here this summer and this next year that my students say to me.
Let's see, since I last wrote I went to school everyday, then spring break was suddenly here where I was able to spend a week with the family in Florida. When I returned from there, the first comment I heard from my students was" Miss Lashley why are you a different color"? All I could do was laugh. Then all the sudden spring break was here and gone and we were doing the end of the year things at school. The year ended and well...here I am....summer off...first summer in 14 1/2 years. What shall I do.
The first thing on my list was to start and finish a 9 day crash science course at Malone on all Kindergarten and 1st grade curriculum.. I am so glad I did and the things we got from the class was amazing for the ridiculously low price I had to pay. Now that is over and I am awaiting my grade I have a mile long list of things I want to do for the summer. First on the list was to spend time with my Grandparents and their good friends who are my second grandparents from Illinois....that was done today as we went to the Flea Market. Next is to wash down the house and curtains and everything else in between that. Third, is to go through school things and get them organized before the school year starts so I am not looking for things this year.. As A first year teacher I learned a lot of tricks and as long as I have the space around the house (upstairs) I am taking advantage of it. Lastly, to have fun, relax and look forward to my trip to the cabin in August with a friend. That cabin is in Indiana! and to hopefully hang out with friends and get to know my friends more from my SS class.
That's the last 6 mths and the next few in a nutshell...This weekend is the Olympics with Matt in Columbus...will let you know how it goes....
Till then.....
