Happy Summer!
I have been so busy this summer
and it is only July 7th!
I have already visited my dad
in northern California, cleaned half the house (like moving furniture cleaning),
done some work on the house, cleaned two cabinets out in my classroom, and
started putting ideas and information into my planner.
I can’t remember the last time
I had so much energy? But it feels great! I have been eating well and
exercising regularly which has given me a boost in energy.
Today I am going back-to-school
shopping this morning. Need to get some essentials for the new school year.
I am also gearing up because I
will have a 4th/5th combo class this year again. I like
to get a little ready for that because it takes a little more work. One of the
things I have been focusing on is literature to read for each grade that covers
the social studies curriculum.
But I wasn’t sure what to use
for 5th grade which teaches American History. And then I ran across
Rush Limbaugh’s series of children’s books on American History. They are so
cute, I had to decide which two I wanted to use (he has four books). I choose
to start with Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims. It is a cute, engaging
story of a history teacher who travels back in history to teach students about
what happened in the past. I was pleasantly surprised how accurate and comprehensive
they were.
Well, I still have some great stuff
planned for the rest of summer. I am going to Florida to visit my 94-four-year-old
grandma, help my husband finish remodeling our bathroom, and work on some TpT
products.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a
wonderful weekend!
