Summertime Catch-up

It  has been a while and a lot has happened, let me share. (By the way, these are in no real order I just decided I wanted to number them...)

First, I have been busy planning for my class next year. I decided to use a theme that involves music because I am such a fan of music... Right now I am leaning toward a rockstar theme but I don't want it to be too cliche (That's the biggest problem, everything has been done) so I will maybe twist it a little. I have been having so much fun planning out my classroom, I can't wait to see my class!!! Recently I was told that I will have 27 students. I am awed by the opportunity I have to teach these students and for the chance I have to be a part of their lives! I have also started my classroom library. Scholastic books has a warehouse sale twice a year. I was able to go and get a ton of books for my class. I also got some books from teachers as the school I will be teaching at! I am super excited!!!

Second, the pools opened on Monday, I went to Seven Peaks (Yay for the Pass of All Passes) and played in the water for a little while. I ended up getting a little bit of a sunburn, as funny as it seems I was really excited about it because it means Summer is finally here!

Third, the Provo Rec Center opened up. I bought an annual pass and I have enjoyed going to different classes and relaxing in their pool. I actually saw one of my fifth graders there when I went one time, funny story.

Fourth, I was able to go to see my fifth grade class one more time (They got out last week) to watch their program. It was great. After the program they asked me to stay for the end of the day. I ended up going out to recess with them and they wanted to play big booty. We ended up with such a big group that we had two games going, craziness!!!

Fifth, I have had the chance to do a lot of reading... I love to read and Summer is the best time to do it! One day when I was at the Provo Library I met the nicest librarian, she took me around just suggesting and talking about different books that I might enjoy. It was the greatest thing!

Because I love to share YouTubes I will share a new one that I found the other day. I love the song "Over You" by Miranda Lambert, it is not what you think. I discovered this cover the other day and it gave me chills I have always been a fan of Cassadee Pope (I liked Hey Monday) but I love the emotion she puts into this song.
