I just realized there are only 13 days of school left. Wow! That means I have to start making plans for my summer. First priority is to get more beach trips in this year than last year. Can't believe I only went to the beach once last year. I hope to have plenty of time since I am not working this summer. This is my first summer in three years that I am not working. I'm sure we will make the annual family day trip to Canobie Lake Park in New Hampshire and another day at Water Wizz in Wareham.
The only other plan I have is to get to Newport. I can't believe I have never been there.

End of a GREAT school year

The end of the school year is almost here. I always look forward to the summer, but I don't look forward to the goodbyes I have to say. I have had one of my best years and that is because of all the great students I have this year. Most of my students this year are seniors so you will all be going off to college. I would like you to know that I will miss all of you. Hopefully you can find time once in awhile to say hello and let me know how you are doing. I would love to hear from you after graduation.

To my juniors....I look forward to seeing everyone again next year, hopefully in my Calculus class.

Field trips

I went on a field trip to Patriots Hall of Fame yesterday and now I am getting very excited about my next field trip. Math day at Six Flags on April 27th. I LOVE field trips. I will have to work on planning more of them for next year. Math Day at six flags is my favorite field trip and its not because I love the rides, I don't go on many. (fear of heights) This is my favorite because my students get so excited about it. Only 5 more school days until our trip.

Warm weather is here

I have gone awhile without adding to my blog. The last was about snow and now I have accepted the fact that there will not be a snow day this year so time to bring on the warm weather. The warm weather is never good while we are still in school. I find that the warmer the weather the harder it is to get students to work. This week is supposed to be quite warm so that combined with seniors that already have senioritus could be disasterous. I should stop blogging and get to work onplanning lots of activities to keep the students busy.

SNOW????

Just when I accepted the fact that there would not be any snow days this year I read this quote from one of the channel 5 weathermen "….let’s get onto the good stuff because we are tracking a potential snow event here Wednesday to Thursday. Models have been trending colder today and are coming in line with my earlier thinking of a more southern colder solution." Wondering if I should get excited or if I will be dissappointed when this doesn't happen.

No snow days this year

I know I am the one who gets all excited everytime I hear there is a chance of snow, but I have accepted that I will not be getting a snow day this year and I am okay with that. I'm sure my seniors are not okay with that (sorry). After spending time at the beach in Yarmouth on Saturday I am now ready for the warm weather. having said that mother nature may decide to be cruel and now give me the cold snowy weather.

Longer weekends

I really wish that weekends could be three days instead of two. I just cant seem to fit everything I need to do into only 2 days. I have been on the go since Saturday morning at 8am and I am just now sitting down to relax. I have a few more errands to do but I want to watch NHL all star game and the celtics game. Since tomorrow is Monday, back to school, I guess all my errands don't get done this weekend.
