Oops, sorry I'm so bad at updating. I feel like I've been fairly busy lately trying to get lots done. I'm trying really hard to start exercising again every day and on top of teaching, graduate school, starting up a TPT store (which I've made almost $70 total so far. yay!) and just the general fun parts of life I've ended up being really busy. It's okay though, I think I'm happier when I'm busy, so this is good.
Obviously I made it back in one piece, despite almost missing my flight. Because of the winter storm my flight had left JFK significantly later than it was supposed to and, long story short, I ended up running barefoot through the Miami airport and JUST made check in. I was the only one there and was told it closed at 1pm. I got there at 1pm. It was a slight miracle, but all worked out okay.
Not last weekend, but the weekend before I went to the beach with Dereek, his brother Randy, Morley and some of their friends. It was definitely a good time. Pretty crowded though so we didn't get out to any islands. We just hung around one of the local beaches instead. I stole some of Morley's pictures to show you.

This is the beach we were at all day.
Sometimes Dereek and I are cute...
...but more often we look something like this.
Super stylish

I wish I had time for the beach more often, but I've also been at school the past two weeks... The kids have been pretty good, especially since I introduced some new things to them. We've started using interactive notebooks for homework and a little bit in class. They're working out pretty well. The kids are still getting used to how they work though. We've also started lots of new units. We're doing measurement in math, learning about famous artists in art, community helpers in SS, and the scientific method in science. And of course language arts is filled with learning to read and write activities.
I've also gotten a new student, Raul. He is able to read really well, but pronounces everything as he would in Spanish and I'm fairly certain he does not understand what he reads. He seems to understand me for the most part, but will not speak any English other than "bathroom." I like having another student though. 8 is a much better number then 7. It makes making groups much easier. Of course, I have some cute school pictures to show you all.
Kids learning to paint like artists would.
Oh yeah... Azabache had puppies again. Really cute and good bribery for the kids.
haha. I agree Marcel, I feel like this about work, too sometimes.
And sometimes I feel like this.. My kids are funny.
Learning about Michealangelo and trying to draw above just like he did on a ceiling.
Getting ready to start our snow science.
Kids loving snow.
So much fun to play with.
It doesn't mold together like snow, but it was cold and wet.
Snow science.
Very focused on painting.
A little Georges Seurat inspired dot painting
