1. Writing five new Women of the Bible Lessons for camp.
2. CAMP!! Missed it last year, but I'll be there this year.
3. North Carolina
4. Coffee at Starbucks (no time for that during the school year)
5. Sleeping past 6 a.m.
6. Going to bed after 10 p.m.
7. Summer reunions...as many as we can get to.
8. Swimming...I don't know why, but swimming just sounds really appealing right now.
9. Kissing baby Asher. I have cold right now, so that has to wait for a while.

Tidbits
On a standardized test, the question was something like:
Use a strategy like making a table or drawing a picture to solve the problem.
There were six girls and four boys on the bus. How many more boys than girls were on the bus?
I walked around checking my student's work and stopped at one boy's desk. He was carefully drawing a verticle line with four horizontal lines descending from the first verticle line. At first I thought he was making bus seats, little rectangles divided into thirds because first graders must sit three to a seat. I was SO impressed with the boy! I asked him, "What are you drawing?" And he said, "I am making tables."
Four more days of school. My family is helping me get the physical work of checking out of my classroom done. Moving to a new room and must box everything up in addition to checking back in all my curriculum and labeling everything that is mine that will be moved to the new class.
Lost my voice Wednesday, was VERY sick, running a temperature, hot then cold...you know the drill. The first grade aide taught my class with me there to guide her. I don't think she wants to be a teacher any more. Got my voice back Thursday. Voice gone yet again. What a way to end the year.
As Jim and I worked last night, I felt like we had just put up that tree and bulliten board and math progress chart. Time flies when you're looking back over it, but sometimes it just crawls when you're in the midst of it.
Have a great week! Looking forward to seeing many of you soon.
