Off to the AuTrain Riverview Resort for the weekend!

The farmer who grew the squash, and the chef trying to get the first graders to eat it.  I thought it just needed butter.  And maybe brown sugar, and bacon.

10.16.13

Supplies for the classroom Halloween parties are starting to roll in, to varying degrees of appropriateness.

10.15.13

I got tired of looking at the pile of bags under the sink in my classroom, so I made this curtain.  With a stapler.

Side of the road score.  Maybe we didn't need the skateboard, but you never know.

The lift bridge at dawn.  Squinting against the sun is a hassle, but soon enough it will still be dark on the way to school.  I'll take the squinting.

Hanging out at the gym.

Tummy trouble turned into dehydration turned into an afternoon visit to the ER.

09.13.13

Fever turned into a sick tummy.  Clearly she is not enjoying her days away from school.  But we found a fun app to share with the 1st graders if I ever get back to my job.

09.11.13

Somebody has a fever today, so somebody else called in a sub.

09.10.13

Bulletin boards- I love to hate them.

She surely does love that iPad.

Digging out the dress up box with Riley from the neighborhood.
