I don't have pictures of what we spent 90% of our time doing, however. It was state testing week and I can't show you any pictures of testing. The directions were very, very clear about that.
First up, remember how I told you that winning TOY didn't seem real until it was in black and white on the marquee? Well, I had to take a picture in front of it to prove it to myself:

May? Where did the time go? Do you see how that calendar is covering two cabinet doors? My teaching bud, Charlene, came up with that idea and it is G.E.N.I.U.S. :) We have very little wall space (triangle-shaped rooms...don't get me started). So this is a great way to use cabinet doors. I sliced the calendar in two with an Exacto knife. It's perfect and has lasted all year without getting torn.
My next three pictures are all about Teacher Appreciation! Look at what one of my sweeties made for me before the Teacher of the Year news:

And, this morning, one of my little friends brought me this:

Cute, huh?

Congratulations on your award!!!! That's so exciting! We are testing for the next two weeks :-/ and we have to put signs up outside of our classrooms that say "No electronic devices allowed beyond this point".... because we're all just dying to take pictures of "The Test", right!?!?! Have a great weekend!

Mehdi, I'm almost good I heard that Bale acquired a lot fat for Batman that they were contacting him "Fatman" on set and he needed to cut a great deal of excess weight to look proper on digicam. He had acquired a considerable quantity of body fat in addition when he gained all of that excess weight back. He was definitely in a position to reduce some fat right after that, but would you consider it will be feasible to create bodyweight gains like that rather than gain a great deal of body fat in the procedure? Like could a person acquire 40 pounds of lean muscle mass and become ripped with no gaining, say, 60 pounds 1st then shedding the flab, in that amount of your time? And not steroid assisted, of course. I'd like to hear your consider on it.

ReplyDeleteSeeing you by that Teacher of the Year sign makes my heart happy! (I think you earned the honor as soon as you figured out that cut-the-calendar-in-half strategy!!)
Seriously, BlogFriend, I admire you SO much and I am delighted that you are getting at least a bit of the recognition you sincerely deserve...
