Home from church and it is just a nice relaxing day! I have had the whole past week off from school. It has been so very nice to sleep in and not have to be anywhere! Sleeping in for me is 7:00 though...I just can't sleep in for very long.
Tomorrow we start our summer school! How can that be? Where did my time off go? I have ideas in my head for summer school, but not one thing written down yet. I have got to get with it! Time is running out. I am working with in-coming kinders through 3rd graders in literacy. For the younger students, we will start out working with a Mo Willems Pigeon unit and I Spy unit (creating our own pictures and writing the clues to make an I Spy book) with the older ones. We are going to have FUN!!
I need to finalize our summer vacation plans. We are going to go to the Colorado Springs area. Have you been there? What do you recommend? I want to see Garden of the Gods, Royal Gorge, and go river rafting.
Have a wonderful Sunday and don't forget to link up with Farley!
Please share if you have any good summer reads! I just read The Fault in Our Stars. It was so good! Now I'm in a book slump. Have fun teaching summer school!

Sarah, The Fault in Our Stars has been very popular! I don't think I can read that one though- too sad.
DeleteColorado Springs is gorgeous! My uncle lives there and I LOVE it. And I love your bucket list...reading and tanning are definitely part of my list! Good luck with summer school! Your ideas sound awesome.

DeleteBe sure to check out Pikes Pike when your in Colorado. Love your ideas for starting summer school. I forgot to add reading to my bucket list!!! That's always a must in the summer.

We do plan on going to Pikes Peak, Iola! Can't wait to get there!
DeleteHappy Summer! You and I have the same idea when it comes to sleeping in. My teen thinks I'm nuts.

Mary, it just never seems that I can sleep in for too long. And there is too much to do to stay in bed that long! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love your summer school ideas! You will love river rafting!!! I loved Royal Gorge! I got kind of dizzy on the bridge :)

We can't wait to get to Royal Gorge. Won't be able to do much there since they are still rebuilding from the fire last year though.
DeleteSummer School! Already!? Sheesh - you need a rest! : )
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet birthday wishes!

I agree, Susanna, it would have been nice to have a bit more time off before summer school began!
DeleteRiver rafting sounds fun. I've never done that!
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't have to teach summer school all summer!

We can't wait for river rafting, Barb! We've done it once before and it was fun!
DeleteI've been to Colorado Springs but I was inside at a Love & Logic conference all week. I bet you'll have a great time though.
