Summertime!!

The best part of teaching is SUMMER vacation! I really miss having that feeling you get at the end of the year, reflecting back on how much smarter your students are and how much you will miss certain students. And how excited you are certain students are moving on! haha

Baby Gate holes were drilled today and fence will be installed Saturday.

And we are getting more bids for repairing our sprinkler system. 

Then I think I can really enjoy it!

In the meantime, we will be inside doing more of this:
