Fridays are going to be rough. 4 straight hours with 5 different classes, which includes kindergarteners.
Crazy. Glad its a 3 day weekend.
Peace and fabulousness.
I took on the challenge of being creative at least once a day for the year 2012 using color. Looking back at all the pieces from 2012, I realized the ones that stood out and gave me the most joy, were the creatures (sad frog, the monsters,...) 2013 was the year of creatures. This year (2014) I'm continuing with the creatures but making them around the theme of children's stories/nursery rhymes. When all the characters are finished, I'll assemble them into a story picture.

Day 235 (600)
I can't believe I've been doing this for 600!! days!!
My classroom is 98% ready for Monday's school start. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do.
Spent some time at the hospital visiting my uncle Phil. Got to see my awesome cousins, parents and my godmother & uncle. It was so nice to see them, but not under these circumstances. My uncle is so amazing. He worked for decades without taking a sick day in a very physical job. This bites.
Peace and fabulousness.
