Julia Goolia

Way to go Julia! Last night we went to her dance recital and she did awesome. We were so proud of her. She smiled big and knew how to shake it!

Sampler Plate of Europe!

The last 3 weeks we have traveled through 7 countries. I still can't believe how much we saw in such a short time.... thanks to my wonderful mother in law and her amazing planning skills! We traveled all around for the first two weeks with the Staples crew. It was a lot of fun, we went to Paris, Rome, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. We were able to see the places Robert's grandma lived during World War 2 (Germany) and where Robert's dad served his mission (Switzerland). It was a cool experience and we are grateful for all Jon and Denice did!The last week Robert and I took off to Spain and Portugal to celebrate our 1 year anniversary and the last hurrah before Robert starts medical school. I wanted Robert to experience a true "granola" trip so we rented a car and drove all over. We slept in our car and showered at the beach. We didn't really have an agenda so it was fun to see where we ended up. Robert was a trooper and we had a lot of good laughs. It was fun to hear Robert use his Portuguese (except when he translated my dinner as stuffed chicken instead of chicken stomach and I was sick for the rest of the day :) ).

Busy, Busy, Busy

These last couple of weeks have been busy. I have tried to squeeze every last bit of information into my students before the year is over. We have been studying rocks, famous artist, planets, and we took the UTA to a park for a field trip! It is so rewarding to see how excited they get about learning. I can't believe how these 8 years remember things and how they go home and google what we have been talking about to learn more! I LOVE TEACHING! I am going to miss this class like crazy! They are a special bunch!

Roommates Unite!

I got together with my old roommates this weekend and it was so much fun! I haven't seen them in more than a year! It is crazy how you can go so long without hanging out but when you get together it's like you hang out all the time. They are such wonderful and beautiful friends!

CRTs are over!!!!

So we just finished CRT testing for the year and I think my students are just as glad as I am to be done. The hard part is that I still have 3 weeks to fill to keep them entertained! I wish that they would do testing later in the year but... whatever! If anyone has any cool projects they did in Elementary and still remember.... help a sista out!
