PSSA Testing

This week felt so long. I do not know how the kids did it. I was so tired each day after the tests. I also think I got sick because of the tests, well probably not because of the tests, but because of being in the same room for hours with some kids who were sick. You got to love germs! Not really. But the kids did a wonderful job. They really tried and worked hard. The scores should show their effort.
How do you think the PSSA's went? Did you feel well prepared and confident to take them? Do you think you did better than last year? I think you all did a EXCELLENT job! The kids in my room were really trying and had some amazing answers. Good Job kids!! Leave a comment about the PSSA's.
Thanks to Meghan W. for leaving me a comment. You can check it out.

American Idol-Country Week

Hey did you watch American Idol, I did, and of course I have my favorites. My number one guy was, of course, Danny! I think that guy is awesome, and he sang one of my favorite songs!! He did an awesome job. My other favorites were Anoop and Kris, both did excellent. The guys are really good this year. What do you think?! The girls did alright on Tuesday, but they need to step it up. I didn't post yesterday, so I cannot ask you who you think should go home, but I can ask you do you think the right person went home? I really like Alexis and I do not think she should have gone home yet. I think the judges should have saved her, but that is my opinion. Do you think Alexis should have left or do you think someone else should have? Let me know. Remember to leave a comment.

American Idol Post 1

Good Afternoon,

All right, who watched American Idol last night? I did and I thought most of the contestents did a wonderful job. My favorites were Danny and Kris. I also enjoyed Anoop's performance. I thought the judges were a little hard on him, but I still liked him. Tell me what you think. Write me a comment and tell me who you voted for or who was your favorite. We can discuss each week what we thought of the performances. I will use my blog to comment on each nights performance. I know there are a lot of you out there who enjoy American Idol as much as I do. Jesse even gets into the show. So every Tuesday and Wednesday I will make a post about the show. Comment on what you liked. This should be fun!!

Good Evening,

What a day?! It was a crazy day and it went fast.

This week has been so busy, both in school and out of school. Tuesday's band concert was amazing. The students did a great job! It was wonderful listening to the different groups! Great job to all the groups. Keep up the good work. I am looking forward to the Spring concerts! Last evening I had a wonderful time at Read Across America Night! I am so glad that I got to be part of a terrific program. It was great seeing all the kids. The elementary students were so cute in their PJ's. It was great talking with the kids and seeing their excitement. I also saw a few of my sixth graders, it was nice to see them out of the classroom setting. Tomorrow is Friday and it is the last middle school dance! I am hoping I can make it and show off my dancing moves. Seeing that some of my students do not think I can dance. I can "cut the rug" with best of them!! I look forward to coming and seeing the students.

Today we continued to work on the "Book Bridges". The students are finishing up finding the main idea and supporting details in their children's book. Tomorrow most of my kids should be creating their bridges and labeling them. I am looking forward to seeing how they turn out. Hopefully, the student's "supported" their bridges enough.

Can you smell Spring? I can! I am looking forward to warm, sunny days!! Let's hope Winter moves out of the way and lets Spring come early.
