Happy Friday, y’all! I have two quick updates for you this morning.
I’m happy to report that, in celebration of yesterday’s National Chocolate Ice Cream Day, I did enjoy a scrumptious chocolate milk shake topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and not one but two cherries! Ahhhh, just the memory of this milk shake makes my mouth water! I’m also happy to report that, though it took a teeny tiny bit of persuasion, my blogger bud, Todd Savelle, host of Upper Grades Exchange, gave in and added an equal number of calories to his Thursday lunch. This, my friends, I describe as undeniable job dedication! 🙂
My second update is a quick reminder for our June giveaway! If you’d like to be entered in a drawing for some moola from The Mailbox (and who wouldn’t?), check it out!
Okay, now that I’ve brought you up to date, what’s new with you? Do share!
Cheerfully,
Diane
First day of summer vacation…hitting the ice cream shop and being lazy all day 🙂
Planning party dates for my classes. LOl A teachers work is never done.
My husband and I just found out that we are pregnant with our first child!
I am officially on Summer vacation from my work, now until Aug.22! YEAH! I am attending two college courses this Summer which start on Monday, Algebra and English Comp. Yikes! So far I have been enjoying gardening, playing in the yard, and winding down from a busy school year. It takes me about two weeks to settle into my new routine. Today to celebrate ice cream and chocolate, I am going to treat myself to an extra large mocha frappacino!
I found out this past month that all four of my grandchildren and my daughters and their husbands are all moving here this summer……..I will soon be a hands on grandmother. THANK YOU GOD!!!
I am finishing up Father’s Day details and preparing some of my summer projects. I got my summer class list and most of these little one’s are familiar.
I am very interested in donating for the give away.

I am the creative arts teacher for a special program our school is involved in. Students are broken into 3 small groups. Well adjusted students are matched with not-well adjusted students in a 3 1/2 hour a day program where they rotate to 3 stations-literature appreciation, creative arts and the special social/emotional session. Student behavior is reviewed and charted every 30 minutes, groups are awarded points for rewards and more.(Each group has their own “aide” who keeps track of the ‘behavior” of all students. It is hoped that these students won’t need the Boys/Girls ranch program as older students. It is hoped that we can give them the skills and strategies to work through their frustrations and/or behaviors that prevent them from making friends or “fitting” in. Great program!
I officially started Summer vacation from now until Aug.22. I have been playing in the yard, winding down , and getting used to a new routine! I am signed up to begin some Summer college courses beginning Monday. I plan to have a relaxing Summer hanging around the house and maybe going camping a few times!
Congrats Renee
Tomorrow begins my first day of summer vacation and my husband’s and one daughter’s birthdays. Going to enjoy the beaches for a while…I hope.
Thanks to all for sharing your updates! Renee, your news is especially exciting. Congratulations!
