The Finish Line

So I was listening to a Lady Gaga interview on Kidd Kradick this morning. She said she really wanted to get all her ideas out before she died. This inspired me to pick up my blog again. I'm not really that creative but I have lots of ideas, mostly about teaching right now, and trying to remember them all is causing me to lose sleep.

The school year is over!! Here are some pictures of projects we did this year in 6th grade Science. The first one is the bulletin board outside my room with atom models, cell drawings and kingdom foldables. Then Earth travel brochures, to encourage aliens to come to our planet. We made these to finish our geology unit and in honor of Earth Day. Finally fingerprint analysis, during our short Forensic Science unit students learned about fingerprints (patterns, details, etc) and examined and drew their own fingerprint. It's been a good year. I survived with my sanity in tact and I have so many ideas for next year.

I used to blog about things too, before I started teaching...

I'm thinking of training for the White Rock Marathon in December, well probably the half marathon.

I'm looking for a summer job. Hopefully I can go back and wait tables somewhere I've already working. Asking a 16 year old hostess for a job application was quite strange... I also applied at a bakery that's opening in a few weeks, doubt that will happen though.

Married life is great : ) I'm still settling into being a wife, but Matt has been amazing. I'm very lucky to have a great husband.

I'm really into reading these non fiction books about education. So great ideas. I'm sure no one cares but I'll probably post about them anyway.
