It was neat watching some of my students working the dance program at school. One person was using the mat and one person was using a controller. Hhhmmmm...which one had the better workout????

My oldest created this shoe with perler beads. She said, "This is Cinderella's shoe. She dropped at the ball, but the prince didn't pick it up. I did and that's my story."

I thought that would be a great writing prompt for students:
What if you went to the ball and saw Cinderella drop her shoe. You picked it up before the prince got to it. How would your story end?

Happy Double Digits to my buddy Alexa! This was her cake from Holmesburg Bakery. It was awesome!

April 27th

My daughter had to do a report on an old object, heirloom or old photo. It made me think of the little music box that my grandmother gave me when I was about 8 years old. It still plays and makes me think of her when I wind it up. I can't help but smile when I hear it play.

The science teacher at my school has a container with a goldfish on every table. The kids learn to take care of them and it's better to look at than a box of crayons!!

April 25th

This was a bumper sticker in the car parked next to mine when I went shopping. I had to take a picture of it. Is there such a thing as a normal husband?? Inquiring minds want to know...

April 24th

Big Daddy has some big pizza! Yes, that is a 12 inch ruler next to one slice!

April 23rd

Went to the Mother / Son dance with my little man. He actually slow danced with me to the whole song! He really knows how to "cut a rug"!

April 22nd

I don't usually post videos but I created this with my daughter two years ago. I am excited that the school district is opening up for me to use in my classroom. Check out http://www.blabberize.com

Went to Rita's....
What flavor is "ME"?

April 19th

The 5th graders are learning about mirror image in math. As I was walking down the hall I saw this picture hanging and was amazed!

April 18th

Just helped my friends haul some wood from their patio. It didn't seem like THAT much wood under the tarp. More to do next weekend! Thanks for the pizza!

April 17th

My daughter and neighbor were doing their Science Fair project today involving bubble gum. It was pretty amusing watching everyone blow bubbles for them to measure.

April 16th

I got to see my neighbor after she got ready for her prom. She looked stunning in her dress. Notice what the girls are wearing as prom shoes now a days! Got to love it!

April 15th

Took my kids to Karate and Sensei's dog was walking around with her Kenpo shirt on. It read, "Warriors are not born. They are created at Counterstrike Kenpo Karate". Talk about your free advertising.

April 14th

I just love to see spring in bloom. I see these trees all around my neighborhood. I don't know what they are called, but I like them.

April 13th

One of my students was being very creative after taking his PSSA. He drew this on his chair with eraser. Creative yet easy to clean up afterwards.

April 12th

I see this tree on my way home from work everyday. It always reminds me of angel wings.

April 11th

We had a great time at the roller rink with the Girl Scouts. Thanks for everyone who showed up in support.

April 10th

Today I signed up my kids for summer camp. I can't wait until summer and neither can my kids!!

April 9th

We have such a great art teacher this year. this is what she has done with te Kindergarten.

April 8th

As I was walking into work, this was parked in front of the school. I walked in and said, "I know we've been stressed out this year. This would be a nice gesture on a hot day like today." Of course I was shot down. It just was a parent that was parked there to run in to the building briefly. DARN!!

April 7th

This was the temperature of my classroom in the afternoon. The school district doesn't allow the air conditioner to go on until April 15th, so my students have to suffer in the lab with this heat! Life is sometimes cruel.

April 6th

My beautiful kitty cat. She is 16 years old and still purrs like a kitten.

April 5th

Now I understand why it's called "ball" playing.

April 4th

Today was the 1st Annual Family Softball Game. Some people slide into second base, others sleep on the job. You decide....

April 3rd

Just finished watching my kids and nieces dye eggs. Even the baby got to drop an egg in the dye (after she dropped it on the floor a few times). The guys are all over my brother-in-law's house smoking cigars for his birthday.

April 2nd

Kids at the park playing on a large tree branch. It was quite amusing watching them bounce with the branch. It was such a nice day out.

April 1st

Okay, so I know it's April Fool's Day, but this is no joke. I had a few kids sleep over and they went crazy with perler beads. I must have ironed over 15 designs. My oldest created this one. I copied them off the internet and the kids just copied them. What talent!
