Summer Vacation

Today was the official last day of school. Grades were handed in, textbooks, classroom keys, and handbooks too. We had our last faculty meeting where they announced the "Veteran of the Year" (a veteran is someone -faculty/staff- at the school who has been there for more than 3 years) and also the "Rookie of the Year" (three years or less) and based off of feedback from colleagues I was selected as the Rookie of the Year - it was pretty great to get the unexpected recognition.

So now we're on summer vacation and all I have to do is goof around with my iPad because I got selected to be in a pilot program group that will be implementing iPads into their classrooms. I've already got a list of great apps and can't wait to keep finding new ones.


Oh yeah - and I get my own classroom next year. Boom!

Batman

A student put this at the end of her test, it's pretty self explanatory but she does this every test.

I also have another student who draws a scene from a different Disney movie on every test and I have to guess which movie it's from. In response, I usually draw another scene from another Disney movie and leave it up for him to guess. So far - we've both stumped each other once

this day in history (well, yesterday)

"Does anyone know what happened on this day (6/5) in 1968 in history?"
"OH! THE HOLOCAUST ENDED!"


Sadly, that was over twenty years before. Shockingly, this is the same person who thought Iwo Jima was the Moon
